I was thinking of having a great re-opening but it makes things lot more complicated. You really want to surprise the spectator so get stuck and at the end don't want to go on stage...
Meaning,
I decided to just keep going with this blog as if nothing had happened, "como decíamos ayer..." de Fray Luis de León.
Today I was looking at the picture of the Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor in the Millenium Park, Chicago.
It is made of 168 highly polished stainless steel plates, and stands at 33 feet high, 66 feet long, and 42 feet wide, weighing 110 tons.
I have chosen it for its great performance with the place and its great contribution to the space and people's interaction.
It gives people the reference of the City and themselves in the waterfront Park of Chicago. It doesn't let you forget you are in the city, it IS an Urban Park, an open space that supports the asphalt and the building skylines. At the same time, it gives the idea of the scale of the park and allows you to meet the walkers beside in the reflection of the Cloud.
You can find some good pictures and standard explanation about it in this blog:

There are tones of articles and references to this sculpture and to this Park that has been a mayor project of great urban revitalization but I wanted to just give my opinion and humble experience of the piece.
