The Gates, Central Park

This February, Christo and Jeanne-Claude will change the face of New York City’s Central Park by erecting 7500 16-foot Gates along the walkways in the park.

These artists do not accept sponsorships or donations and will fund this project themselves. Also, they will employ thousands of New York residents in the construction of this huge installation.

Their site is full on interesting information about their work. I will, however, leave you with an interesting quote from an article I read on Yahoo News.

“Freedom is the enemy of possession and possession is equal to permanence. That is why our projects cannot remain and must go away forever. Our projects are ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ and ‘once upon a time.” –Christo and Jeanne-Claude

I can’t wait to see this with my own eyes!
