Audiences are in awe theyre not expecting the level of technique and creativity, the huge effort, that goes into making the pieces in this exhibition, guest curator David J. Brown told CityBeat in May. Its indicative of the kind of activity you can see out there.
According to a press release, InVasive is a new outdoor artwork that honors memory, emotion, experience and transformation. Built entirely out of invasive honeysuckle from the museum grounds, the artwork was designed by University of Cincinnati students under the leadership of Samantha Krukowski, a faculty member at UCs College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. Visitors are encouraged to engage in introspection and leave their stories with the installation, which will be released likely by flame when the exhibition closes on Sept. 2.
Visitors will also be able to share their stories by writing their dreams on the museum walls via Candy Changs Before I Die board.
Other phase II additions include the patterns and lights of Hybycozos geometric shapes, headdresses made for the Playa at Black Rock, Android Jones intergalactic prints and intimate and large-scale photos some of which were submitted by Burning Man participants themselves.
No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man is on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum through Sept. 2.
