The Whitney Museum of American Art has a new building, and in connection with the 84th anniversary of the Empire State Building, interpretive lights displayed with the Empire State Building’s crowning LEDs gave New Yorkers something like a slow, quiet fireworks show. The lights intend to interpret twelve iconic works of art in The Whitney’s collection. Considering New Yorkers inability to sit through a single song, I wonder if many of them gave this show much notice.

And yet, I think the world belongs to things many New Yorkers don’t notice.
