Peter Scarlet joined artists
Christo and
Jeanne-Claude (guess which ones) along with director
Albert Maysles and director
Antonio Ferrera (next to him) along with editor
Matthew Prinzing following a press screening of "
The Gates," which will close the Tribeca fest. The film follows the very long saga by the artists to bathe New York's Central Park in "gates," which finally came to fruition in 2005. Though the artists said they didn't care what people thought of their project (or child) they did seem happy by the gleeful responses seen in the film (and yes, the film also highlights dissenters).
