Ever wondered how beavers got the reputation for being busy, well, beavers? After checking out the nearly 200 images captured by one of our Forest critter cams of this busy, busy beaver, I think I finally understand. The Garden and the Bronx River are the proud residence of the first two beavers —José and Justin—to call New York City home in more than 200 years. Beavers were once common in our fair boroughs, but their luxurious pelts were their doom, and they were hunted and trapped to extinction while simultaneously making Gotham a world capital of commerce and trade (they’re even featured on the official seal of the city).
Whether this beaver is José or Justin is almost impossible to tell, but it’s not the first time we have caught our resident critters on film. Over the summer, during an impressive heat wave, our critter cam also caught a curious fox, racoon, and one very exasperated looking great-horned owl. We’re sure there are more critter cam surprises to come, so stay tuned and keep an eye peeled when you’re visiting the Garden, you just never know who you’ll meet along the way! ~AR

Grand Central Terminal turns a hundred today. In a January, 1929, Casual, E. B. White wrote, “The cold weather is setting in. Should anyone decide to dig in for the winter, I recommend the Grand Central as a good place. That terminal, with its catacombs and its connecting clubs, offices, and hotels now offers a complete existence—all of the necessities of life, plus clean fun.” That’s still true today, though it would be nice is there were still an official organist. Here are some of Grand Central Terminal’s appearances on the cover of The New Yorker over the years: http://nyr.kr/TmVYR0
NY-Based artist Olaf Breuning is the subject of this colorful and quirky video examination of the world he inhabits. It is a devastatingly nuanced cultural commentary that uses his characteristic humor as a lens on the world.
The Avant/Garde Diaries recently traveled to Olaf Breuning’s getaway house in upstate New York where the artist finds time to breathe fresh mountain air and take a load off from the hustle and bustle of the contemporary art world.
And, of course, he’s always having fun in the process.

Commute by Bobby Genalo and Alberto Brizio of PlaySomething is a piece of functional art that uses wooden dowels to represent train stations and colorful rope to represent routes. Users are invited to interact with the art, placing the dowels and rope in routes of their choice across the five boroughs, effectively using their creativity to ‘redesign’ the public transportation system.

This is hilarious. Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi is building scaffolding around the 70 foot base of the Christopher Columbus statue at the entrance to Central Park in New York City. He is then building a living room around the statue. Visitors can climb the stairs and check out the previously inaccessible statue from close-up.
The project is called “Discovering Columbus” and runs from September 20th to November 18th.
Above: scaffolding being constructed, the artist’s rendition of the living room.
