Sunday, February 14th, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.

Evanston Art Center Presents A Slide Lecture on "Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Theory and Practice Lecture" followed by a reception. Katherine Hilden, Artist and Evanston Art Center Faculty member, will present a timely lecture on the art projects that Christo and Jeanne-Claude have installed all over the world in the past fifty years. This is the 5th anniversary of "The Gates" in New York's Central Park. The celebrated projects of the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have puzzled many people because these projects are both enormous in scale and yet temporary. The 7,500 Gates installed in Central Park in February 2005 were up for only 16 days, after being in the making for 26 years. This lecture will address the question, why is this Art? The lecture places Christo's work in the context of the istory of Western art. This program is free and open to the public.
