From the infomation I have managed to gather about this new piece it sounds magnificant. I love the idea of the reflective quality of the surface because I imagine it will have different effects depending on the lighting condition when viewed, the weather and the amount of water in the river at that time. No viewing of the piece will be exactly the same.
- Over The River is a two-week temporary work of art
- Hung horizontally across the course of the Arkansas River will be 5.9 miles of silvery, luminous fabric panels for a 40-mile stretch of the river between Salida and Cañon City in south-central Colorado.
- Fabric panels will be suspended at eight areas of the river chosen by Christo and Jean Claude both for there beauty and accessiblity.
- Over The River will be exhibited for two weeks in summer 2012.
- Like with their other work Christo and Jean Claude are funding the work and no fee for the artwork is being accepted.
