THE BEAN HAS ARRIVED AND IS GOING UP !!!!

i met met a pack of brits from mtec art installation tonight at a tribeca happy hour watering hole and they are in the midst of installing the bean. i havent walked by lately, but they showed me pics of how its going. there is a bunch of scaffolding up and half a bean on a flatbed truck out front. they said dont worry about any seams showing or any of the problems that happened with casting it all has been fixed. they install anish kapoor’s work exclusively, along with other big artwork. they showed me the previous gig they finished, which was installing big sculptures in bazillionaire larry ellison’s maui hawaiian paradise estate. anyway, they had no eta on when it will be done exactly, because its too hard to say, but its ON now, so soon enough we will get beaned.

i am greatly pleased that at long last we are at the finish line of all this beanery.
