On Central Park in Winter
Saturday, 5 March 2005 09:53 amYou don't know the number of times in the last week I've wanted to write an entry and managed not to.
To catch up a bit:
My impression of the Christo in Central Park is overall mixed. It was quite positive on the first two days, and only so-so on the last day. There's a good reason for this, I think- there's a fundimental flaw in the execution. The Gates were spread out over such a broad area that we were compelled to keep looking and walking... But you could only see the Gates in so many different ways before their shower-curtain nature comes out.
The afternoon we arrived in the city, it was lightly snowing, with a bit of wind, and there were tons of people around the midtown part of the park. That was really neat. The light quality, the waving orange fabric, the snow- it was magical.
