Christo and Jean-Claude

The works of Christo and Jean-Claude are temporary installation art that are meant to get people talking. They range from metal works to textiles. Most of the work the artists do take hundreds of people which brings more then just the two of them into the involvement of the work. It's taking the idea of the old world masters studios with apprentences to the everyday people that want to work on the projects. Their latest project that is in the drafted drawings above is a textile work of sheer fabric that will be drapped over the Arkansus River in Colorado. It will not block the river but simply create a canopy of fabric to go over the entire river. The work while some see it as blocking out the sun is really making people more aware of what is above them. What do you think of the concept? The idea of being able to wrap something like a package makes its transportatble, sendable, what does this make you think about the river? About nature? Are we taking nature along for our ride purhaps? Thoughts on the new installation and old ones are appreshiated.
