Main Street Meltdown
voices4democracy: "In a new, time-based event, called Main Street Meltdown the artists will install the word “Economy,” carved in ice, in Foley Square, using the New York Supreme Court as a back drop."

I love how this installation can be so simple, yet say so much. It can inspire a number of different reactions from the people that walk by, and the fact that it is so out in the open makes people very aware of the "Economy Meltdown." I also like that the location is an important factor of these pieces, because it really helps to emphasize their meaning.
I love this idea. I think it might put our economy into a different perspective for people, hopefully most of all the politicians that are trying to solve the problem. I also like their choice of location and how its location impacts the art. Hopefully they will continue to do these types of installation in the up coming weeks of the election. It could be interesting. Maybe they should sculpt a George W. Bush so we can watch him melt away!!!
