The Writings on the Stall

the gates

I'm really considering going to New York for Christo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates exhibit. At $225 US for a round-trip flight, there isn't much holding me back.

Why? Why not? The two environmental artists have spent 26 years planning an event that will only last 16 days. When else would I experience something so beautiful and transformational — and never to be repeated?

[The Gates] short life-spans creates a preciousness and an urgency, encouraging us to bear witness and drink in the art as much as we can, while we can.

Hey Jonathan. I don't know if I told you this but my friend Micah Florea (this guy) goes to LCM and is a good friend of mine. He even invited us students from LCM to hear a lecture on what he did in the project. He was "assistant director." Pretty cool. I wish I had seen this post earlier, so I could have told you.
