[Cpcommunicator] Central Campus library special displays this month
>From Library Services
During the month of March, the Central Campus library is featuring
artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude in a themed book display. Christo is
known for his visually impressive and often controversial installations,
which include wrapping well known items large and small, such as
islands, rivers, buildings (the Reichstag), bridges (Pont Neuf), trees,
toilets, and bouquets of flowers. Other works include the 24-mile-long
curtain called Running Fence in Marin and Sonoma counties in California,
and most recently The Gates in New York City's Central Park.
Art critic David Bourdon has described Christo's wrappings as a
"revelation through concealment." Christo's partner, Jeanne-Claude,
manages the public relations and logistical side of the partnership,
while Christo makes the final creative decisions as the primary artist
and designer of the projects. Please visit the library during the month
of March to learn more about this iconoclastic, creative duo.
Also, in recognition of National Women's History Month, a variety of
books celebrating the lives, achievements and contributions of women
will be displayed throughout the month. The National Women's History
Project 2007 theme is "Generations of Women Moving History Forward."
