Burning Man: Art in the Desert
by A. Leo NashAbrams Hardcover ISBN/ITEM#: 9780810992900 Date: 01 June 2007 List Price $29.95 Amazon US / Amazon UK / We'd sort of dismissed Burning Man as the edge of innovation, assuming it had fallen victim to Yogi Berra's maxim, so popular that nobody went there anymore. But running across Leo Nash's elegant and atmospheric collection of black and white images made us stop and wonder anew, does the wonderful and very absurd art he's captured still flourish out there? If so, it might be worth braving the danger of going where bold people have already been. Or perhaps this collection, beautifully realized in tones of gray, is a look back into a recent past that's worth remembering. Either way, Burning Man: Art in the Desert, is a good place to begin. From release/information: Product Description: For one week in August the Burning Man Festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert brings people together in a spirit of self-reliance and creativity. Art has become the defining feature of Burning Man, as the festival continues to be a testing ground for a growing circle of artists seeking engaged audiences. Their most compelling works are large-scale constructions that are burned at the end of the festival, and radically altered vehicles, or "art cars." (Source: Abrams) |
