Christo
Tomorrow I'm planning on touring Central Park with Catherine and
Guillemette. We're going to watch the installation of Christo's "Gates." In preparation, Guillemette sent me a link to his
site and pointed out the "common errors" section.
My favorite error? The distinction between wrapping and surrounding with respect to his work in Florida: "Christo and Jeanne-Claude never
wrapped any Islands. They surrounded the islands. Most journalists do not understand the difference between
wrapping and
surrounding even though they should know that England is surrounded by water, it is not wrapped in water."
