___MASK43___ is an artistic ___MASK97___ of three - dimensional works that often are site - specific and designed to transform the perception of a space . Generally , the term is applied to interior spaces , whereas exterior interventions are often called public art , ___MASK42___ or intervention art ; however , the boundaries between these terms overlap . Bulgaria ( tr . '), officially the Republic of Bulgaria ( tr . '), is a ___MASK31___ in southeastern Europe . It is bordered by Romania to the north , Serbia and Macedonia to the west , Greece and Turkey to the south , and the Black Sea to the east . With a territory of , Bulgaria is Europe ' s 16th - largest ___MASK31___ . Morocco (', lit . " The West "; '), officially known as the Kingdom of Morocco (', lit . " The ___MASK57___ Kingdom "; '), is a sovereign ___MASK31___ located in the Maghreb region of North Africa . Geographically , Morocco is characterized by a rugged mountainous interior , large tracts of desert , and a lengthy coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea . Public ___MASK44___ is ___MASK44___ in any media that has been planned and executed with the intention of being staged in the physical public domain , usually outside and accessible to all . Public ___MASK44___ is significant within the ___MASK44___ world , amongst curators , commissioning bodies and practitioners of public ___MASK44___ , to whom it signifies a working practice of site specificity , community involvement and collaboration . Public ___MASK44___ may include any ___MASK44___ which is exhibited in a public space including publicly accessible buildings , but often it is not that simple . Rather , the relationship between the content and audience , what the ___MASK44___ is saying and to whom , is just as important if not more important than its physical location . ___MASK15___ is the boundless three - dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction . Physical ___MASK15___ is often conceived in three linear dimensions , although modern physicists usually consider it , with time , to be part of a boundless four - dimensional continuum known as spacetime . The concept of ___MASK15___ is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical ___MASK14___ . However , disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity , a relationship between entities , or part of a conceptual framework . Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and Jeanne - Claude were a married couple who created environmental works of ___MASK44___ . Christo and Jeanne - Claude were born on the same day , June 13 , 1935 ; Christo in Gabrovo , Bulgaria , and Jeanne - Claude in Morocco . They first met in Paris in October 1958 when Christo painted a portrait of Jeanne - Claude ' s mother . They then fell in ___MASK80___ through creating ___MASK44___ work together . ___MASK42___ , earthworks ( coined by Robert Smithson ), or Earth art is an art movement in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked . It is also an art form that is created in nature , using natural materials such as soil , rock ( bed rock , boulders , stones ), organic media ( logs , branches , leaves ), and water with introduced materials such as concrete , metal , asphalt , or mineral pigments . Sculptures are not placed in the landscape , rather , the landscape is the means of their creation . Often earth moving equipment is involved . The works frequently exist in the open , located well away from civilization , left to change and erode under natural conditions . Many of the first works , created in the deserts of Nevada , New Mexico , Utah or Arizona were ephemeral in nature and now only exist as video recordings or photographic documents . They also pioneered a category of art called site - specific sculpture , designed for a particular outdoor location . Running Fence was an ___MASK43___ piece by Christo and Jeanne - Claude , which was completed on September 10 , 1976 . The builders removed it 14 days later , leaving no visible trace . It consisted of a veiled fence 24 . 5 miles ( 39 . 4 km ) long extending across the hills of Sonoma and Marin counties in northern California , United States . The 18 - foot ( 5 . 5 m ) high fence was composed of 2 , 050 panels of white nylon fabric hung from steel cables by means of 350 , 000 hooks . The cables were supported by 2 , 050 steel poles stuck into the ground and braced by steel guy wires anchored to the earth . The route of the fence began near U . S . Highway 101 and crossed 14 roads and the private property of 59 ranchers to reach the Pacific Ocean near Bodega Bay . The required environmental impact report for the piece was 450 pages long . The piece is said to have been partly inspired by fences demarcating the Continental Divide in Colorado . The piece was the subject of a 1978 documentary film Running Fence by Albert and David Maysles . The film includes scenes showing the local response to the project , which ranged from excitement to resentment and active protest . Several Californians including Expressionist painter Byron Randall protested the piece on the grounds of both land infringement and lack of artistic merit ; however others appreciated the beauty of the work and in the end the project was completed . The piece is commemorated by historic markers at Watson School near Bodega , California and at State Route 1 in Valley Ford , California . In December 1976 , the County Landmarks Commission , County of Sonoma designated the Valley Ford site ( pole # 7 - 33 ) as History Landmark # 24 . The largest remaining intact and continuous section of the Running Fence hangs below the ceiling of the Rio Theater in Monte Rio , California .
