The New Museum   [Interactive]
235 Bowery at Prince Street
New York, NY 10002
212.219.1222
Wed, Fri–Sun 11am–6pm; Thu 11am–9pm. $16, seniors $14, students $12, children under 18 free. Through Jan 15, slide open through Jan 22.

In 2010, Marina Abramovic’s exhibit “The Artist Is Present” cemented the concept of fine art as an interactive public attraction. German artist Carsten Höller’s wide-ranging show at the New Museum has some of that same energy: Visitors can hurtle down a slide that runs from the institution’s fourth to second floors, or float inside a water-filled “sensory-deprivation” tank. The artistic value may be diminished by these gimmicks—Art critic Howard Halle says that the show is “stocked with come-ons”—but there’s still something perversely fun about winding along a playground staple in an art museum. Be prepared to wait—the queue is regularly an hour or more.

Armory On Park is one of New York City’s most breathtaking venues. For one week in December, it’ll be the setting for “Kiss the Air!,” a program of acrobatic performances by Brooklyn’s Streb Extreme Action. Using techniques inspired by action-film stunts and the circus, the company stages a site-specific show that utilizes the Armory’s unique spatial potential. Expect more than a few gasps as dancers fly though the air.
