NICK CAVE HORSES AT GRAND CENTRAL STATION

Well this past Sunday the horses stopped prancing and dancing but we’ll remember this performance for a long time. Nothing beats being there for a live performance - but we thought perhaps these pictures would give you the gist. 

Once the harp came to life and the drums starting beating, the Alvin Ailey Dancers appeared and got into those larger than life sound suits of Nick Cave’s and proceeded to wow and charm the audience for the next 20 minutes. 

The performance spurred conversations within the crowd; about how inspired everyone was feeling. The couple standing next to me, who didn’t want to lose the vibe, went home immediately to start creating. There were giggles from the children crowded around the sides of the space and babies reaching out their hands to touch the swirls of color dancing by. Needless to say, when the performance ended there was an eruption of applause. 

All in all - it was one magical day.

TRIBUTE IN LIGHT Every year since 2002 the Municipal Art Society of NYC  (MAS) has beamed the Tribute Lights into the sky on September 11th. The lights reach 4 miles into the sky, echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers. They say it’s the strongest shaft of light ever projected from earth into the night sky. Tribute in Lights was designed by John Bennett, Gustavo Bonevardi, Richard Nash Gould, Julian Laverdiere and Paul Myoda with lighting consultant Paul Marantz; all brought together by MAS & Creative Time.  Here they are, shot shining through the The Big Dipper.
