I'm pretty excited about this summer's large public art installation.
[Olafur Eliasson's] much-publicized $15 million initiative is to create four waterfalls ranging from 90 to 120 feet in height that will appear from June 26 to Oct. 13 and run from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. In addition to the waterfall at Pier 35, just north of the Manhattan Bridge, there will be one in Brooklyn at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, another between Piers 4 and 5 near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and a fourth on the north shore of Governors Island.

Update: Looks like one of Eliassons's waterfalls had a test run the other day according to a tip sent to Curbed:
This Alaska boy CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS! I love nature! Er, nature in a 100 percent controlled environment that is.
