i really dont believe anyone reads this shit anywyas ... so here is my latest peice of literature: named the gates
One hundred fifty years ago the city of New York purchased a rectangular marsh land in the middle of the city and instructed architects to build a city park named “Central Park”. The architects built a landscape with many paths complimenting the many adjacent city streets. There were concrete walls built around the park with gates designed to be built later, for the park to be locked off at night. When the time came to build the gates, the architect vetoed the plans and opened the park without them.
On January 22, 2003, the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude of New York City signed a contract with the mayor, Michael R. Bloomberg, to begin production of their contemporary work of art: The Gates, Central Park, New York, 1979-2005. The work would demand 7,500 gates, saffron colored with over sixty miles of vinyl panels to line the paths of central park from entrance to entrance.
The two year preparation concluded as The Gates were assembled on location, in central park, February 12, 2005. The news reporters witnessed as the last of the 7,500 gates were raised just in time for the morning news. An estimated two million visitors and tourists witnessed the art work throughout the sixteen days of “The Gates Life”.
The sheer magnitude of the project brought hundreds of supporters together to assist the assembly of The Gates. New Yorkers alike filed in attracted to participating in what is known as the biggest art project the park has ever seen. Six hundred construction teams were assembled, led by ordinary men, women, artists, and non-artists. The overwhelming excitement of the supporters, kept conflict within the teams’ non-existent.
The Gates’ saffron colored vinyl panels could be seen through the leafless trees of central park for many blocks. The gates span over sixty of the New York grid-patterned blocks, following the winding design of the parks paths. The vivid saffron color spiced up the drab city, giving it an orange attribute.
When the contract ended the supporters came together with more than nine hundred teams to dismantle and recycle the materials that made up “The Gates”. The saddened city was reminded by Christo and Jeanne-Claude that they are still working on more art to beatify the city.
