The Gates
Posted on | February 15, 2005 |
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the sensation of The Gates? Perhaps one has to view them in person to truly be inspired by the dayglo orange fabric. I would also appreciate an explanation as to how they are art. I’m sure they are — I’m just missing the overall vision. Maybe they’re art because they just are. Maybe they’re not supposed to mean anything, and that’s why they’re art (what a load of crap).
The massiveness of the project is apparent. Twenty some miles of gates through out Central Park, thousands of yards of fabric, LOTS of orange paint — very impressive. I still don’t get it. This must be something one has to see in person to appreciate.

It kinda looks like ‘Croquet’ to me .. I am with you Nicole ..
The complexity of the project is impressive .. thats about it.

Maybe that’s its meaning — it’s a really large croquet course. If so, it’s a lame croquet course because they’re all lined up in a row. How hard is that?
