abatt Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 JR gained many new fans (myself included) when he did an art installation last season for the NYCB. His most recent project relates to an abandoned hospital on Ellis Island. A review is below. Sounds fascinating. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/arts/design/jr-brings-ellis-islands-abandoned-hospital-to-life.html?ref=arts Link to comment
sandik Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Fascinating indeed. It reminds me of Meredith Monk's work with Ellis Island, which is so haunting. Link to comment
