Park Avenue Armory

2014 art installation "tears become... streams become..." by artist Douglas Gordon and pianist Hélène Grimaud. The floor of the drill hall was covered by an enormous pool of water into which two pianos had been placed. There were performance on the pianos for the first few weeks; after that, it was purely an installation. Smartphone pic so not very good quality—really wish I'd brought my camera!

"tears become… streams become…" An art and music installation by artist Douglas Gordon and pianist Hélène Grimaud from 2015-16: two pianos standing in an enormous pool of water that covered the majority of the drill hall floor. We were not there for the live music event—tickets were pretty expensive and went fast–but the installation was amazing; my camera phone pics do NOTHING to share the experience.
