On the Brian Lehrer Show we're talking about public art, and we want to know what public art project you'd propose. Make it simple, make it over-the-top. Make it realistic, or completely impossible! Note: These aren't actual pitches, just a way to share our ideas.
Hanging Gardens! I would love to see vertical gardens cascading down the sides of skyscrapers in midtown and/or the financial district. Flowers, vegetables, and native species. Aside from visual beauty, the plants would make our air a little cleaner, and bee-keepers could set up shop on the roofs to pollinate the plants and provide yummy local honey to us New Yorkers (and tourists!).
