About Us

On Friday, Team RxArt had the honor and privilege to scale Mike and Doug Starn’s spectacular structure of chutes and ropes, Big Bambu, with the show’s curator Anne Strauss. Clad in our rubber-soled shoes and our jungle-appropriate trousers, we gingerly ventured into Phase II — not yet open to the public and still undergoing tensile strength testing with sandbags — and caught a glimpse of Central Park at dusk from Bambu’s highest point. The piece is completely surreal, from the way in which it’s constructed (impromptu-style by professional rock climbers) to the stories of those who had ventured before us (three love-struck men have proposed on it). What we’re trying to say is that blog posts or iPhone snapshots can’t possibly convey the magnitude of this groundbreaking work of art (yes, it’s art), but we strongly recommend that you have your own indescribable experience before it’s dismantled on October 31, 2010.
