You wouldn’ t know it from how Republicans and Democrats are talking, but the 2020 election was actually a success. During a pandemic, we had a national (1) with record-breaking turnout. The presidential (2) receiving the most votes — in both the electoral college and in the popular vote — was rightly declared the winner and sworn in on schedule. There was no evidence of (3) that would have changed the results. The election was certified and tallied by Congress mostly on schedule.

Yes, that "mostly on schedule” (4) the fact that Donald Trump spent months trying to steal an election he lost, culminating in a deadly insurrectionist mob swarming the Capitol.

For more than forty years, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have been challenging the public’s idea of what art can be. Working together, they create pieces known as “installation art” on a giant scale. In these pieces they wrap entire bridges or buildings in fabric, or stretch a nylon fence for miles along country fields. These “gentle disturbances”, as the artists call them, temporarily change places that we often take for granted and inspire people to see their world a new.

The project that made them most famous, however, was in New York City. In February 2005, they designed and organized the installation of 7,500 tall black meta gates - hung with orange - colored fabric along 23 miles of walkways in Central Park. For the two weeks that the gates were up, the park was filled with thousands of people. Both New Yorkers and visitors from out of town wanted to see this transformation of the park. Just to keep going through the gates, people walked to corners of the park where they had never been before. Observed from one of New York City’s skyscrapers, the gates looked like a river of bright color flowing through the park. They created a feeling of joyful celebration and brought New Yorkers together.

The inspiration for The Gates, as the installation was informally called, came from the initial 1854 design for Central Park. The original designers had planned for gates along the park’s surrounding walls, but those gates were never built. Christo and Jeanne-Claude focused on the fact that New Yorkers love walking, and that Central Park is one of their favorite places for walking and for meeting. The gate structures were designed to mirror the grid of the city streets near the park. Tall and narrow, they seemed to invite people to walk through them. The fabric was chosen carefully and cut in such a way that it could swing freely in the wind and seem to follow the curving paths on which the gates were built.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude first proposed the idea for The Gates twenty-six years earlier, but New York officials at that time did not welcome the project. In the course of trying to get permission from the city offices in charge of the park, the artists received a vast collection of documents. No matter how long and frustrating it was, getting permission was part of the process of creating The Gates. Christo and Jeanne-Claude recognize that their artwork, in this case, was not made about Central Park; it was made out of Central Park.

In spite of all the delays and objections, the artists persisted. They received building permits for The Gates in 2003, by order of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Several more years were required for the design and the construction of the 7,500 structures with their pieces of orange fabric. And finally, on February 13, 2005, The Gates were open.
