Today I took off all my clothes and entered Giant Psycho Tank—a large, faintly lit, polypropylene tank filled with about a foot of supersaline water. Why did I do this you ask? For the art of the experience, of course. Welcome to the New Museum’s terrifically fun, thrilling and sometimes downright disorienting exhibition Carsten Höller: Experience, on view now through January 15 in NYC. Höller is probably best known for his long, elegant, tubular slides. At this exhibit, visitors can scoot themselves into a 40-feet high, 102-feet long, steel and glass tube on the fourth floor and zoom down to the second floor—screaming all the way. Happily, the nude averse can do this fully clothed.
