The scale's probably a little large, and I doubt he's really that cutting-edge any more, but I always kinda liked Christo's schtick. Wrapping parts of the landscape - islands, valleys or buildings - and leaving them like that for a certain period.
A gallery - with an email contact link.
The most official site I can find is this one.
Like I say, the scale's probably a little large, but I like the ideas. I believe he also did an umbrellas project, years ago, where he put huge umbrellas all over the world. That's it. Landscapes and umbrellas. Weird, but kinda cool, too.
Another thing that I thought interesting was Peter Greenaway's Stairs series. Basically, he set up a number of staircases around city areas. Atop the staircase is a wall, with a viewing slot cut into it; it's meant to make the viewer reevaluate the environment, I guess; to create their own postcard view. The stairs are identical, and always seem quite out of place. I dig it. There's some photos of the Geneva version here.
Hope this helped... |
