BEST CHALLENGING PUBLIC ARTWORK IN TIMES SQUARE: At 44
  We’re having to unlearn our habit of tuning out the brain-liquefying streams of crass consumerism that run in vicious loops on Times Square’s giant screens, because this year’s slate of artists featured in Creative Time’s At 44 1/2 video art series on the MTV screen has been phenomenal. In April it was Patty Chang, Kate Gilmore and Marilyn Minter, and July featured a 1997 piece by Steve McQueen broadcasting to unsuspecting tourists lounging in their lawn chairs.
