i remember when i was a teen, one of christo's usual vast projects, _umbrella project_ was placed near los angeles. i saw them on a live tv, and wanted to check it out. of course, my parents didn't have time to drive me to that area just for a brief glimpse of this unique art installation. finally, christo's long dream of having his work shown at central park will become a reality when officially, his latest project, _the gate_ will start on february 7th, 2005. the city of new york has refused christo's _the gate_ project for 26 years!!! i wonder what triggered the city of new york to let the well known artist do this installation at this moment? while this project won't last that long (i think 16 days), i encourage you to come to nyc and check out this amazing feat by christo. i guarantee that you'd feel inspired by this unique sight.
