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."
