Christo and Jeanne-Claude




The artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude were born Gemini-like at the same hour on June 13, 1935, he in Gabrovo, Bulgaria as Christo Javacheff of an industrialist family and she in Casablanca, Morocco as Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon of a French military family. Christo studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Sofia from 1953-56 and escaped from Prague to the West in early 1957.

Jeanne-Claude was educated in France and Switzerland, and earned degrees in philosophy and Latin from the University of Tunis. They met in Paris in 1958 when Christo was commissioned to do a portrait of Jeanne-Claude’s mother.

In 1964, they and their son, Cyril (today a noted poet, born 1960) immigrated to New York City, where they have since resided.


The wrapped trees project

Starting on Friday, November 13, 1998, 178 trees were wrapped with 55,000 square meters (592,034 square feet) of woven polyester fabric (used every winter in Japan to protect the trees from frost and heavy snow) and 23.1 kilometers (14.35 miles) of rope. The wrapping was completed on November 22.

The trees are located in the park around the Fondation Beyeler and in the adjacent meadow as well as along the creek of Berower Park.

MI-ZO






Photographer duo, Zoren Gold and Minori, Mi-Zo, have started their collaboration in 2000. Their shared curiosity of mixing each of their different skills took them on a journey of discovering the new venue of photographic image making. Their approach to the photography is not only about capturing the moment of physical reality, but it is to unveil their freedom of individual alternative reality. The fascination of what is possible im image making had lead them to experiment with improvising different mediums as well as keeping the spontaneity to unlocking their fantasy.
