I like when artists take their ideas to the extreme like Christo and Jeanne-Claude with their project: The Gates in New York’s Central Park in February 2005. They not only brought tourists to the city but they also brought a little bit of happiness on cold winter. Looking at some of the images on the internet, I just imagine the wonderful and unique experience people got from walking under those metal structures painted with that Saffron bright color, the hanging panels of fabrics that created shadows and sounds as the winds hit the clothes and move them in different directions.
Still I don’t understand why people complained about this project if it did in have to put money on this project and it didn’t cause any damage to the environment. In my opinion Artist should make big projects like the gates because it brings the attention from the people. Even though Christo and Jeanne’s gates didn’t have any purpose at all, I think if an artist uses art to bring awareness of the bad things people do, it could have a great impact on the society on the future.
