"Creative Time is giving New Yorkers a good reason to check out Governor\u2019s Island, but those art lovers who won\u2019t set foot outside of Manhattan (never in short supply) aren\u2019t without recourse. British video artist Steve McQueen\u2019s 1997 Turner Prize-winning short film, Deadpan, began its run on MTV\u2019s Times Square 44&amp;amp;#xBD; megascreen this week, in its first-ever outdoor showing. A send-up of Buster Keaton\u2019s classic gag sequence from Steamboat Bill, Jr., Deadpan depicts McQueen\u2014from multiple angles\u2014as the side of a clapboard barn collapses on him. (Like Keaton, he passes through an open window unscathed...despite 18 takes.) &amp;quot;So many people were made homeless post-Katrina, and I think the image\u2014a house, a home\u2014is very apt for what\u2019s going on in the economic climate right now,&amp;quot; says McQueen, who recently returned from the Venice Biennale, where he represented Great Britain. After that, how does he feel about showing amid the roar of Times Square? &amp;quot;I think this is the ideal venue,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;It\u2019s sort of the middle of a hurricane, and you\u2019re in the eye of the storm.&amp;quot;\n\n Deadpan runs through July 31 in Times Square, NYC, creativetime.org"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
