Pardon my ignorance, but is it really that big of deal? I'm not saying it's not...I just have never heard of this before, yet I'm not in tune with the art scene. My brother lived in Brooklyn Heights for a few years in the mid 2000s and he had never heard of Galapagos when I asked him today.

It may not be a ginormus deal like you say and this forum is cognizant of "Skipper's Rule" [No project is for real until tenants have moved in], but Galapagos is a significant institution on the NY art scene. Check these press accolades.
