The New Museum's Carsten Höller Show May Result in Pile-Ups
You really, really, really want to go see the Carsten Höller exhibition that is opening at the New Museum this Wednesday. We got a sneak peak of the installation and it's bonkers-cakes! Obviously you will want to start on the fourth floor so you can take the chute down through the concrete floor. Also there are like some lights and a bunch of birds (looks like a mobile of bird cages with birds in them) and stuff. (Stuff = "a sensory deprivation pool." Just what the senseless Lower East Side needed.) It's max ridic, as the kids say. HOW MANY HIPSTERS DOES IT TAKE TO JAM UP A SLIDE? Let's find out together.
I can assure you, having tossed many hipsters down a much larger slide, that hipsters are very good sliders. It is unlikely that they will jam up.
I had a grand old time when Carsten Höller had the Tate Modern Turbine Hall a few years ago (2006?). It really doesn't take too long to go down a slide, I don't think there will be much of a backup? Though you had to sign up for a time first. Regardless: super fun and totally worth a (reasonable) wait.
Awwwheycomeon! More hipster bashing? That's so 2009.
