Most Think Olafur Elliasson’s Waterfalls Sucked

The unscientific poll on Curbed went live yesterday and continues to evolve (those who hated the waterfalls were only at 42% yesterday) but I think most people, including me, agree Olafur Eliasson’s project was a lame, expensive and poorly thought out concept.

Regardless of how the idea of the Waterfalls seduced Mayor “Gimme a Third Term” Bloomberg, the Mayor and all New Yorker were scammed by an artist who should’ve known better.

Can someone ask Christ & Jeanne-Claude to come back?
