Friday : 5 - 7pm at The Salida Steamplant Theater
Along with his late wife Jeanne-Claude, Christo has spent more than 40 years creating highly celebrated temporary works of art across the globe. During his lecture at the Salida ArtWalk, Christo will discuss previous projects as well as his current work in progress, Over The River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado, which he and Jeanne- Claude started in 1992.
Christo plans to suspend 5.9 miles of silvery, luminous fabric panels high above the Arkansas River at 8 distinct areas along a 40-mile stretch between Salida and Caņon City. This proposed temporary work of art is currently undergoing a permitting process through the Bureau of Land Management. Christo and his team will also provide more information on how to get involved in this process. |
