If anyone remembers 'The Gates' from Feb. 2005, the art installation was greeted with mixed reviews. I trekked up to Central Park to see the massive project and thought it was something new and interesting. Others were not so kind.
In any event, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the artists behind 'The Gates,' will be speaking at the Phillips Collection on Thursday at 5:45 p.m. Tickets for the discussion are free but you still have to pay the $12 admission price to enter the museum.They will be talking about their newest projects 'Over the River' and 'The Mastaba.' After the lecture they will sign copies of their new book, Over the River.
The name of the book refers the Christo and Jeanne-Claude's new effort, hoisting silver fabric horizontally across parts of the Arkansas River in Colorado. 'The Mastaba,' the married couple's other work in progress, will featured 410,000 horizontally stacked oil barrels in the United Arab Emirates.
Coincidentally, the Phillips has also just opened a brand-new exhibit, Jeanne-Claude and Christo: Over The River, a Work in Progress. According to the museum, ". . . [This is] an exhibition of more than 150 photographs, collages, drawings, and maps, will chronicle the artists’ process as they prepare to assemble and suspend massive silvery fabric panels horizontally over the Arkansas River in Colorado."
