Gothamist embarked on The Angel Project this past weekend, which seems to be causing a stir. The performance art installation is running through July 27, so in order not to spoil the experience for people headed there, our in-depth coverage will launch next week. Until then, we'll be posting images from the "solitary walk." Here are the instructions Gothamist received with the ticket.
More on the Angel Project.

I don't know much about how art experiences are priced, but 90 dollars seems pretty steep.
And no student discount? feh
There was a student discount for $20, but could not get it. Plus, I have that whole "I need to do this so I can be cool" late-adopter mentality, so, according to psychologists, this is not very surprising that I shelled out the coin for this.
The Lincoln Center web page says: "Student discounts are not available for Lincoln Center Festival 2003 Kirov Opera or Angel Project performances." At $20 it sounds interesting. At $90, rather pricey...
Hmm, Jen, perhaps, as a representative member of the feedback community, I'd like to express doubts as to whether shelling out $90 for an "art experience" will help you be cool.
For $90, if you are willing to look beyond the major galleries, you can definitely find some nicely priced origninal art to hang on your walls by an emerging artist.
I went on the Angel Project this past wkd and tho I do in fact feel cooler for having done so, do also feel broker as well. Without spoiling anything, I must comment that the Project successfully transported me into another dimension of perceiving the city and I quite enjoyed it.
I didn't know about the project, but went to Roosevelt island just for fun during the weekend (kept seeing the signs for the project though once we were there). For $4.25 (RT tram + bus) and a 15 minute walk, I got to see a muslim family bbq, people who should know better than to fish in the east river, a nice park, and folks in every imaginable sort of wheelchair begging and hanging out in what appeared to be a "High Street" from an English New Town. That plus great views make it worth the trip. But, I wouldn't want to live there, or spend $90 to be transported.
