Christo's Gates look like they are very striking. It is too bad not to see them in person. I am perversely pleased to see that New Yorkers are collaborating with the artist in expanding the bounds of the work into a communal performance calling into question the nature of art, ownership, public space, commodification, and spectacle.

As least, that is how I interpret Christo's warning:

If anyone tries to sell you a ticket, do not buy it. This would be an act of fraud, because no tickets are needed.

I am eagerly keeping an eye for signs of those collaborating artists here.


Update: This guy is not buying it, anyway.
