Description

Experience the scorching art of Burning Man with this visual history, now up to date through 2015!

Every August, tens of thousands of participants gather to celebrate artistic expression in Nevada’s barren Black Rock Desert. This vastly inhospitable location, referred to as the playa, is the website online of Burning Man, where, within a 9-mile fence, artists referred to as Burners create a temporary city devoted to art and participation. Braving extreme elements, artists create over two hundred wildly ambitious works intended to delight, provoke, involve, or amaze. In 2015, over 70,000 people attended — the highest number ever allowed on the playa.

As Burning Man has created new context, new categories of art have emerged, including Art to Ride, Collaborative Art, and naturally, Art to Burn. Burning Man: Art on Fire is an authorized choice of one of the most most stunning examples of Burning Man art, now up to date to include 2015. Experience the amazing sculptures, art, stories, and interviews from the world’s greatest gathering of artists. Get lost in a wealthy gallery of images showcasing the most efficient examples of playa art with over 200 photos. Interviews with the artists reveal not only their motivation to create art specifically for Burning Man, but they also light up the dramatic efforts it took to create their pieces. Featuring the fantastic photography of long-time Burning Man photographers Sidney Erthal and Scott London, an introduction from Burning Man founder Larry Harvey, and a foreword from Will Chase, this stunning slipcased edition with a frameable print allows Burners and enthusiasts alike to have a piece of Burning Man with them all year around.
