Putting things where they don't belong seems to be the mission of Scandavian duo Elmgreen and Dragset, best known for their hermetically sealed replica Prada outlet store in the middle of the Texas' Marfa desert, Prada Marfa (2005). Thus, the news that the Public Art Fund has commissioned them to install a swimming pool in the middle of Rockefeller Center—just in time for bikini season!—sounds counterintuitive. However, when you take a look at the concept photo above and realize it's sideways, it begins to feel much more Elmgreen and Dragset.A photo posted by Rockefeller Center (@rockcenternyc) on Mar 10, 2016 at 5:47pm PST
