It All Started With a Stale Sandwich (2019)
50 years ago, Sydneysiders were shocked and the art world astonished by Christo's wrapping of the Little Bay coastline. Hungarian migrant and entrepreneur John Kaldor, who initiated this monumental work, has said “it all started with a stale sandwich, in Christo's studio in 1968 New York.” Now, Project 34 (by Asad Raza) is about to be unveiled, and UK artist Michael Landy is designing the exhibition to celebrate 50 years of Kaldor Public Art Projects.

Kind of difficult to rate because the score is very personal. I enjoy art, modern and classic - and there are pieces of good and bad art which opinion varies from people to people (for an example I just don't think Jean-Michel Basquiat as a good artist but it is art....Warhol induced and bad art but it is). This is a documentary about the Kaldor Public Art Projects, is an Australian non-profit arts organisation established in 1969 by John Kaldor AO. The organisation collaborates with international artists to create site-specific art projects in public spaces in Australia. It covers all art made unto the 34th exposition. The first one was Kaldor's 1969, was "Wrapped Coast" by Christo (the guy that wrap landscapes and structures, and yes, I find his style good and unique art) and Jeanne-Claude’s, which at the time was the largest single artwork ever made. Today it is in its 37th project. This sort of documentary as all in general fascinates be - in this case cinematographically speaking it is a well done and categorized documentary, that captures the essence of it aim, but not excepcional - so it is a 7.0 out of 10.0 / B.
