Olafur Eliasson (The Milli Remix)

Readers of this here website thingy and all New Yorkers know that Danish conceptual artist Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls installations along the East River have been met with the collective yawn of eight million people - and not a little bit of scorn and derision. So here's a couple of "rappers" giving voice to the massively ego-d Eliasson's reciprocative "fuck you" to Gotham. Give the clip at least a minute to grow on you, there are some damn funny and incredibly filthy rhymes. Besides, when was the last time you heard a rap song that name checked Frank Gehry, Cristo, and Hans Christian Anderson?

Best bit:
Nothing? No flowers? No cards? No thanks?
I should Cloverfield your shit with both of Denmark's tanks.

The Waterfalls Are Flowing

Artist Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls installations on the East River have begun flowing today, but probably don't give quite the intended thrill when the weather is as dark and gloomy as it is right now. The four waterfalls will run through October 13th, 7am -10pm. Via Gothamist, here's some good viewing spots. I'll put up some pictures later as they come in.
UPDATE: Aaron sends us this pic of the Governor's Island waterfall, taken from his 35th floor apartment in Jersey city.
