Compare and contrast the experience of Serpent Mound and Christo and Jeanne-Claude's The Gates. Then indicate your responses to these works and the reasons you respond in these ways.
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary. Both pieces are large in scale with winding, curvilinear paths which a viewer can follow. Serpent Mound, however, is much older and uses natural resources to make it an earth work. The creator's intention for Serpent Mound is unknown and all we have to reflect on is the work itself.
In contrast, Christo and Jeanne-Claude recorded the whole process of creating The Gates. The work involves the idea of impermanence, lasting for a short period of time. Viewers walk through the gates, experiencing a majestic ceremonial walkway of billowing saffron-colored banners. The installation's duration was 16 days; afterwards it was removed, leaving no trace of its presence.
