Several activities are planned in the heart of the year for the 100th anniversary of Grand Central Terminal, but my favorite is already the artist from Chicago, Nick Cave and his "Heard NY" installation. Until March 31, 60 dancers donned costumes giant horses (tandem) and parade through the station in the music of a harpist and a percussionist.
The colorful the hut costumes are made of raffia. They are called the "Soundsuits" because they make noise when the dancers move. The artist was inspired by African tribes, the ceremonies of the Renaissance, Mardi Gras in New Orleans the hut and the drag queens of the London Underground. Performances take place at 11 AM and 2 PM, the rest of the time you can admire the inanimate costumes in Vanderbilt Hall.
Nearly 750,000 people pass through Grand Central Terminal every day. For more information about the centennial activities, click here. Hard to believe that in the 70s, we wanted to destroy this masterpiece of Beaux-Arts to erect a skyscraper. I must say that in the 50s and 60s, the station fell into disrepair. It owes its survival to the tenacity of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The station cost the equivalent today of two billion and took 10 years to build. In the 90s, the restoration of a half-billion dollars he gave back to its former glory.
