Too Much Salt for the Trees The Brooklyn Eagle , the Gothamist and other publications have reported on an undesired effect of the New York City Waterfalls. They are killing trees. Interestingly enough, this is something that we had taken notice of a while ago. While not mentioned in the articles, the Waterfall on Governors Island, which is just behind building 110 which houses our summer exhibition , has long been spraying salty mist and turning the green of Governors Island a bit more rust colored. While Rochelle Steiner, the director of the Public Art Fund, which is primarily responsible for the development and execution of the project says that an Environmental Assessment Study was done, and it was concluded that, "there would be no lasting impact from the project,” it is possible that some of these trees will not bounce back. The Parks Department recommends flushing the roots of the trees and watering the leaves. I'm not sure if that is entirely feasible for all trees that have been burnt. But apparently there is hope? Dom’s Tree Service in Port Washington, has been hired to handle further maintenance of the damaged trees, according to the Public Art Fund and the City. Who is funding that? Just curious... Not to join the chorus of those underwhelmed by the Waterfalls, but I think they were a better idea on paper than in reality. I really did enjoy the moment when I realized I could see all four of them from the Governors Island ...
Have you seen the Waterfalls yet? They’ve been stopping traffic for almost three months now, so you probably have. Do they bring to mind “the Cyclone of Coney Island and those towers from which daredevil riders and their hapless steeds used to jump, or to old Times Square with its ambitious billboards”? ( The New York Times Art Review , June 27, 2008) I must confess that something else comes to my mind: wet scaffolding. And The Brooklyn Paper reports that mist from Olafur Eliasson’s creation is killing trees at the River Café. (The trees are expected to recover, but not until the pumps are shut off in the fall.) Still, do you think these majestic edifices are worth the $15 million price tag? Do they inspire and “ embiggen ” the smallest man? The New Yorkers on Yelp and The Brooklyn Paper’s Vox Pop certainly don’t think so. But instead of being a humbug, I’ll recommend some waterfront art that’s not all wet. Through the end of August, Central Library is host to two photographic exhibits , Randy Duchaine’s New York Waters: Profiles from the Edge, featuring portraits from the world of waterfront trade; and Nathan Kensinger’s Twilight on the Waterfront: Brooklyn's Vanishing Industrial Heritage, documenting Brooklyn’s changing waterfront over the past five years. Deadly mist not included. ...
