Final Project - Art Timeline
As the Museum 's new curator, I have been informed that one of my main priorities is to improve the content of our museum 's website. I have decided to go with something a little more out there than traditional art, and that is why I have chosen to highlight Art Installation 's on our new site. Art installations are a large exhibit of any type of material that alters the way space is experienced. An art installation means taking a large interior and loading it with items that evoke complex and multiple associations and thoughts. ("Art Installation", 2003).

Christo displayed his work in several different art galleries and began to create storefronts that he built to scale. Since 1972, they worked exclusively with Wolfgang Volz the photographer, and at least five of their projects were made into documentary films.

I have picked out ten of their most interesting projects for our website.

Valley Curtain was completed in 1972, and this installation was the second attempt and only visible for 28 hours as it was destroyed by a storm that had winds of over 60mph. This project needed 30,000 yards of vinyl cloth that hung on four steel cables and were fastened with iron bars, each fixed in concrete. The first version was hung on October 10, 1971 and was torn to shreds by the wind and rocks.

This building once the seat of Parliament is now one of the second most-visited tourist attractions in Germany and was built in 1871. To get this project approved, Christo and Jeanne-Claude had to gain the Parliament 's approval. In order to do this, they personally went from office to office, and they wrote many letters to each of the 662 members. On February 25, 1995 the Parliament held a debate and after 70 minutes the project was approved. This was a huge project with 600,000 feet of polypropylene fabric that had to be fireproof and nine miles of rope used. It took seven days to wrap the building and was finished on June 24th. Over five million visitors saw this
