The art of Chris Burden pushes the viewer to consider the limits of the physical world – through an investigation of speed, weights, and measures. Though the exhibit Chris Burden: Extreme Measures is no longer up at the New Museum, there is one very obvious remnant you can see without even stepping inside the museum (which we still recommend). Ghost Ship is a sailboat handmade by Burden in 2005 that was installed on the facade of the New Museum for the Extreme Measures exhibition, and will remain there “for the foreseeable future,” says the museum. At the very top, a second piece, “Two Quasi-Legal Skyscrapers,” is another Burden piece that has been on the roof since 2013.
