After hopping off the bus at 28th and 7th Monday, I walked a few blocks to Madison Square Park, adjacent to one of my favorite buildings, the Flatiron. I sat on a bench and people watched as usual, but this time I noticed some statues on the nearby buildings' rooftops.
After doing some research when I got home I learned that this is an exhibit by Antony Gormley called Event Horizon, where 31 life-size body forms of the artist cast in fiberglass and iron will inhabit the sidewalks, pathways and rooftops of the many architectural treasures that populate New York's vibrant Flatiron District. I'll have to go back and try to find them all.
