Spoonbridge cheer. Major League hopes.


The giant eggbeaters on this plaza invite comparison to Oldenburg's famous Spoon Bridge and Cherry. The scene looks like a set for a sci-fi movie that is determined to defy the BladeRunner dystopian cliches of the future, and restore a kind of giganticized domestic cheer, very Scandinavian. Very Ikea.
This is the East Plaza of the Target Field, in the vicinity of the ticket booths, and I am standing just outside the skyway that runs for blocks along Second Avenue North. I have stepped out a rare door in a skyway to take the photo. It might be the only skyway with a door in it in addition to the openings at either end.
