1. The top picture looks like a long row of banners, but what is the bottom picture?

It looks rather scary...

3. That's pink fabric around some islands.

The top is The Gates in central park.

2. The top pic - the orange flags

There was a park in MN, the walking path had the flags set up.

I don't recall which park.

It was some exhibit... I don't recall why...

I recall it was in the twin cities...

Rice Park?

4. I think what he does is cool....

I don't know what to call it-- I'm sure he has a name-- but ephemeral juxtapositions of man made materials, usually delicate ones, with landscapes is kinda cool, I think.

It doesn't appeal to my personal sense of aesthetics, at least not as Cristo does it, but I think it's cool that someone thinks in those terms and is willing to try it.

7. Yeah, I'm not really a fan

I've read a few interviews of his once and got the impression that:

1) he spends *much* more time wrangling financing and permits than he does either conceptualizing or executing his art.

2) Anyone who interferes with, or even doesn't like one of his projects is a soulless philistine who just doesn't get Art.
