Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have been creating grand-scale installations as public works of art for more than 40 years. Known most recently for The Gates in New York’s Central Park, the artists join Kojo to discuss their careers, and their two new projects – one in America, suspending almost 6 miles of silvery fabric over a river in Colorado; the other in the United Arab Emirates involving over 400,000 colorfully-painted steel oil barrels.
