P01Project Overview
For Project 1, John Kaldor invited artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to Sydney where they created Wrapped Coast – One Million Square Feet, Little Bay, Sydney, Australia, 1968–69. The first major environmental project, Wrapped Coast was the largest single artwork that had ever been made with an expanse was so vast that no one vantage point allowed a complete view; instead, visitors walked for an hour to cross its surface. Two-and-a-half kilometres of coast and cliffs up to 26 metres high were shrouded in fabric and rope, appearing like a moonscape, alpine snowfield or Arctic terrain, transformed by sweeping winds into rivulets and billowing sails.Read more about Project 01
