dear designboom reader,

christo’s dream of wrapping the arc de triomphe in paris is now real and on display until october 3, 2021. said to be this year's greatest work of public art worldwide, the project sees the french monument enveloped in 25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene fabric.

in more public art news, french artist thierry mandon is casually reading a book in a bed dangling from an abandoned building’s façade; while urban artist SpY has installed a huge black sphere in the oculus of the logroño train station in spain.

thanks for reading!
