The Gates
For those that "don't get" the gates, I'm with Richard Rohan:
If nothing else, you've been compelled to fabricate (pun intended) clever quips about what they look like to you or how it "feels" in Central Park draped in saffron.
You "get it" and you don't even know it.
The Gates are here to warp our perception of a familiar landscape. They have sufficiently blown everyone's mind and given frozen New Yorkers a sunny reason to walk to the park in the dead of winter.
As for the bridge and tunnel crowd being uncultured and nay-saying? You said it, I didn't ;)
As for the critics and B&T crowd: When you decide to stage your own massive display of public art in Central Park, that would be the most appropriate time to make all the changes you desire. May I suggest leaving out the pleats... I hate pleats!
