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.
