• New York Times: “A Miniature Gate in Hot Pursuit of a Miniature Central Park” (via Kottke)

Summary — there’s a conceptual art piece being towed around Manhattan called “Floating Island”, described in the article as “a kind of waterborne jewel-box version of Central Park, built on a barge, with live trees and shrubs”. Others artists chased after it with their own conceptual art piece — a replica of a single gate from the Christo and Jeanne-Claude art piece “The Gates” on a motorboat.

That’s so clever it hurts.
