Christo and Jeanne-Claude: An Environmental Art Duo
Join us for a screening of "Christo and Jeanne-Claude: An Environmental Art Duo", a film about the artists known for their large-scale, site-specific works.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude, were artists noted for their large-scale, site-specific environmental installations, often large landmarks and landscape elements wrapped in fabric.
This portrait examines the continuously bold and ambitious artistic ventures of the enigmatic duo. 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.
The run time of this movie is 60 minutes.
