Gut feeling is that it would be best to stick with the pylon in Gowanus plan. I scoped it out when I was in Brooklyn for a week recently and chatted with a friend who saw me staring at it, and we came up with a good idea for how to "install" the basketball on it. I think I'm going to go with a basketball, perfectly centered on the pylon, and think of it as a "Perfect Shot."

About the Artist
Nina Katchadourian (born 1968) is an American interdisciplinary artist and educator. She works with photography, sculpture, video, and sound—often in playful ways. She is best known for her "Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style," a series of self-portraits taken in airplane bathrooms.[1]
Her projects have been exhibited widely, including a solo show at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in July 2008, the Turku Art Museum in Finland in January 2006, and the ArtPace Foundation for Contemporary Art.[2] A major mid-career survey exhibition of her art accompanied by an exhibition catalog[3] was organized by the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin in 2017 and traveled to the Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University, 2017–2018.[4]
