Wrapping Art(work)

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Torry mentioned the installation/environmental artist Christo (and his partner Jean-Claude) in her design presentation today. Here are a couple of video clips to give you a sense of the scale and approach of this “wrapping” work.

The first is a time-lapse or “quick motion” video of their wrapping of The Reichstag in Berlin (1995).

The second is an interview by LX TV with Christo and Jean-Claude about their “The Gates” project in Central Park (NYC), 2005.

Just for another view, the installation artist Francis Hines also works with “wrapping” in his work.

Washington Square Arch, 1980.
