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.
Ace is right. I used to do this in the 90s at an annual May Day party upstate, in the middle of a freezing cold creek no less. But I certainly didn’t think I was doing anything original. Of course, by the 21st century, how often do we see original anymore anyway?
was done in sf years ago

loved this – my children were awestruck and we watched this for a long time.
Aww, ditto…
Such a cool idea… anyone can do it pretty much anywhere, it uses nothing and leaves nothing, yet it creates something….
Its amazing how he cairn do that.
