Philip Carter Family Auditorium
Entry by Koha
This film examines the continuously bold and ambitious ventures of artistic duo Christo and
Jeanne-Claude, famous for their large-scale, site-specific environmental installations, often wrapping large landmarks and landscape elements.
Though their large scale environmental projects, such as Running Fence and Wrapped Coast, are often met with distress and concern from the surrounding community, perceptions of the project are likely to shift when it comes time to interact with the grand, finished piece. Neither permanent nor purchasable, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s works exude the essence of freedom and exist only for the sake of existing.
