Christo and Jeanne-Claude are a married couple and an artistic team. Since the 1950s, they have created site specific, temporary, outdoor installations. They have two works in progress.
According to their website, Over The River is a temporary work of art in which Christo plans to suspend 5.9 miles of silvery, luminous fabric panels high above the Arkansas River along a 42-mile stretch of the river between Salida and Cañon City in south-central Colorado.
Currently work is in progress to obtain the necessary permits so that Christo's team can begin the installation process. He is hoping to exhibit Over The River for two consecutive weeks in August, 2014.
The second work in progress is a project conceived in 1977 but being made into reality currently. The Mastaba will be a work of art made of approximately 410,000 horizontally stacked oil barrels.
