The married-artist duo, Christo and Jeanne-Claude of NYC's "The Gates", will begin construction on their temporary work of art, "Over The River" next February, Jeanne-Claude announced at a film premier this past Friday. Standing astage in a quirky fushia and orange knee-length shirt dress with the tackiest fabric-diamonds these suspicious eyes have ever seen, Jeanne-Claude yuked it up with documentarian Albert Maysles and his team. It was 80-year-old Maysle's Tribeca Film Festival premier for "The Gates," a documentary about Christo and Jeanne-Claude's project that went through three N.Y.C mayors before succeeding, but many of the night's questions skipped over the world's greatest cinematographer and creator of "Grey Gardens" and "Salesman" and jumped right to the subject of the Colorado's Arkansas River installation that should be completed in fall 2011. Jeanne-Claude also stated that the river elevated project will be made of transparent material and that rafters will be able to still do their craft under the 7 miles that the piece will span of the 40-mile-long river. For two weeks only, as per usual.
