Hide and See(k) 2013

Jeppe Hein's "Hide and See(k)" is a dance of water and light, a whimsical ballet made real. Imagine the artist, eyes squinting against the sun, tweaking the nozzles just so, coaxing those jets of water into a playful geometry. This isn't just a fountain; it's a stage. It reminds me of a Cy Twombly painting – all movement and ephemeral lines, except here, the canvas is air, and the paint is water. Those vertical bursts, they're like brushstrokes, right? Hein is painting with H2O! I can almost feel the cool spray, hear the delighted squeals of kids darting in and out. It's a space of pure joy, where art becomes an invitation to play. It is a reminder that art doesn't always have to be serious. Sometimes, it can just be a splash of delight on a sunny day.
