Art will gush over East River

LOWER EAST SIDE. The stretch of the East River path near Rutgers Street is where men from Chinatown come with their fishing rods or the homeless find benches to sleep. But yesterday, a gaggle of media convened at Pier 35 to get a glimpse of what is expected to become a hot tourist spot.
Workers were erecting a 110-foot high steel scaffolding for one of Olafur Eliasson’s “Waterfalls,” which is expected to start pumping river water (using green energy) in July, running through October.
A 90-foot-tall waterfall will cascade under the Brooklyn Bridge and there will be 120-foot falls at Governors Island and between Brooklyn’s piers 4 and 5.
