Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Floating Piers

Amazing work of art! Such a free spirit! Floating Piers is the latest poetic work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. In this entry I will include articles and images from the artist's official web site, journalists and photographers, ordinary people and friends, artists and admirers, all enjoying Christo's walk over the water. Cannot wait to visit it at Lago D'Iseo, Italy; June 18th-July3, 2016 

And for my Bulgarian friends, here is a great article. За всички приятели от Бьлгария препорьчвам тази великолепна статия: Защо обичат Кристо.

Christian Voigt at UNIX Gallery

I would like to start the 2016 by presenting couple of very interesting shows at Chelsea, NY. 

Christian Voigt exhibition will be on view at UNIX Gallery until Feb.27th, 2016. I would like to quote the art critic Simone Simon: "Christian's photographs of exotic nature and cosmopolitan cities look like surreal stage sets. As if they had been painted with a camera"

Easter Island Heads....Have Bodies!

The Easter Island heads have bodies! It's not known exactly why the bodies were buried or if they are buried on purpose. The figures were carved between years 1250 and 1500 by the Rapa Nui people. Archaeologists have documented 887 of the massive sculptures, known as moai, carved on the Chilean Polynesian island of Easter Island. The Easter Island bodies were news to us, but apparently archaeological research on the island located 2,000 miles west of Chile began over century ago, in 1914.
