Christo's London Mastaba at the Serpentine Galleries

Christo is an artist who has spent his career making enormous, temporary sculptural interventions. He says that he 'borrows public spaces for gentle disruptions'. The Art Channel visits his latest project, the Mastaba, on the lake in London's Hyde Park constructed from over 7000 oil barrels. We also go inside the exhibition looking at the genesis of his interest in oil barrels as a sculptural material and Mastabas, a geometric shape originating in ancient benches from Mesopotamia.
