how can new yorkers not get excited about HUGE waterfalls all summer on the East River?! sweet.
i like it a lot.
however, 'But statements like Bloomberg's can lead to people looking at the work with a certain sense of anticipation. They become biased and see it as a tourist attraction, no longer as a work of art. I have discussed this with the mayor several times, and I think he understands it now. His press releases have improved considerably.' his conversations with mayor and his pr office is not ultimately deciding factor on how the work is going to be percieved.
