“Everything in the world belongs to somebody. There’s not one square meter in the world that doesn’t belong to somebody. What myself and Jeanne-Claude do is we borrow that space and create gentle disturbances for a few days.”—Christo

Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s latest public work, The London Mastaba, sits above the surface of Hyde Park’s Serpentine Lake and will be on view until September 23, 2018.  The accompanying exhibition, Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Barrels and The Mastaba 1958-2018 is at the Serpentine Galleries from June 19 until September 9, 2018 and is free to visit.

In this video from the Tate, Christo says that getting permission from the authorities to create his art is like playing poker. He talks us through his process and the difficulties that come with having his artistic interventions publicly debated by thousands of people, before they even exist.
