Artist’s Talk: Christo to give rare Artist’s Talk at Tate Britain
On Wednesday 14 September 2011, New York-based environmental artist Christo gives a rare talk at Tate Britain, London about two works in progress, Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado and The Mastaba, Project for the United Arab Emirates. Christo is renowned for his often controversial public artworks carried out with his late partner Jeanne-Claude. In this lecture Christo, who has generously contributed his time, will talk about the concepts behind these two artworks, and the significant process of production and realisation when working on large-scale environmental artworks.
Booking is highly recommended http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/eventseducation/talks/24442.htm
