A Majestic Indoor Lake Fills the Park Avenue Armory

The Creators Project: A shallow lake in the Wade Thompson Drill Hall of the Park Avenue Armory transforms the floor into a cavernous pit, a pristine mirror image of the great steel awning above it. At one of the two grand pianos standing in the field of water, a woman readies herself for a recital of classical pieces inspired by water. The lights dim, ripples form in the liquid, and the piano begins to glow from within. This is tears become ...streams become… an installation by Turner-Prize winning artist Douglas Gordon that features ten nights of performances by renowned pianist Hélène Grimaud.
