Three months is just too short a time to spend with something as special as Carsten Höller's giant slide, and all those other fun things in his New Museum exhibit that opened last October. But alas, we warned you, we warned ourselves, it was all coming to an end after Sunday. And here we are feeling empty, and cold—oh so cold, like the giant slide probably felt against one's skin. But we wouldn't know, because we never actually went down it. more ›

The New Museum's big attraction, the Carsten Höller exhibit, just got more expensive. The installation, and in particular the giant slide, has been drawing large crowds, and the museum says they raised the price in order to pay for extra staff (and, you know, because they can). The new price is $16, up from $12... but the experience of going down a giant slide and then soaking naked in a public sensory deprivation tank is truly priceless. more ›

Carsten Höller's Experience exhibit opened at the New Museum this week with much excitement, mostly centered around the 102-foot-long slide that visitors can go down. But the entire exhibit is pretty unusual and unprecedented, even including a sensory deprivation tank, called the "Psycho Tank." Inside, visitors float around, often naked, with other visitors, and unsurprisingly the Department of Health has now put an end to that. Even worse: now they're eying the slide. more ›

Carsten Höller's 102-foot-long slide at the New Museum. You've seen the photos of it, watched as it was installed, and yet the awesomeness that is a GIANT SLIDE in Manhattan has been open to the public for more than 24-hours and you still haven't been? No worries! While everyone and their brother seems to be planning trips to the Bowery this weekend, we can give you a heads up on the experience of sliding down two stories without leaving your desk. Thank you Internet! more ›

The New Museum's awesome Carsten Höller survey opened to the public today, meaning that you (yes, you!) can now enjoy a 102-foot-long slide from the museum's fourth floor down to its second. But looking at those photos of the slide in action, one has to wonder, how exactly the museum managed to install the darn thing. It isn't like there used to be gaping holes in the floors before. Luckily, the boxy Bowery institution has put together a few short videos and a slideshow that gives you a sense of just how much sweat equity went into letting grownups feel like tots again. more ›

New York, say hello to the your newest favorite attraction: Carsten Höller's 102-foot-long slide at the New Museum. The giant plastic tube, which goes down from the museum's fourth floor, through ceilings and floors, to the second floor is now fully operational and will be open to the public from tomorrow through January 15, 2012. And did we mention there is also a sensory deprivation tank? And upside down goggles? And a fish tank you rest your head in? Suddenly getting dragged to the museum seems more like dropping acid and reliving your childhood than a chance to better yourself. more ›

Sure we may never get a slide into the subway or one in our airports but we can deal: The New Museum is about to install a three-story slide in its Bowery building. Wheeeee! more ›
