Closing Bell: Balancing Slabs on Dumbo Beach

Something magical sprouted up this weekend on the beach right underneath the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Saturday and Sunday, Manhattan-based artist Tim Finefrock (possibly of Raging Slab fame?) created a small village of balancing rock sculptures. He started experimenting with the rock balancing act last summer in the Adirondacks, while doing design work for a lodge. This is likely to be his swan song in the city he’s called home for almost three decades—he’s getting ready to move to Pennsylvania.
