Art Call for Burning Man

black rock city
Dear artists, do you have or would you like to make an art piece for exhibition at Burning Man?
 
We are a Burning Man art camp, Pablos Crusty Creatives, is looking for suitable art pieces to be exhibited in our outdoor gallery that we will be bringing to Burning Man in 2023! The art will be exhibited in a large 2 story installation that was at Burning Man last year (Faradays Cage) . We are modifying it to serve as an open Playa art gallery this year.
 
The 2023 Burning Man theme is Animalia which includes human and mythical creatures as well, but really any theme will be considered including light installations. The art needs to be able to withstand the outdoor elements of the high desert (heat, dust, rain and high wind). One thing of note is that shortly after installation the art pieces will be covered in a fine layer of white, flour like dust, so non porous mediums like metal, plastic, etc may be desirable as it is hard to get the dust off porous substrates. We will have lighting available for each piece depending on needs.

In terms of architecture, Santa Fe is home to a style known as Santa Fe Modernism, which emerged in the 1930s and 1940s as a response to the city’s traditional adobe architecture. Santa Fe Modernism is characterized by its use of modern materials, such as steel and glass, and its incorporation of the natural landscape into the design of buildings. Some of the most well-known Santa Fe Modernist architects include John Gaw Meem, who designed many of the city’s most famous buildings, including the New Mexico State Capitol and the University of New Mexico campus, and William Lumpkins, who designed many private homes and public buildings.

In terms of art, Santa Fe is known for its vibrant art scene, which has roots in the city’s long history as a cultural crossroads. Santa Fe is home to many galleries and museums, including the Museum of International Folk Art, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and the SITE Santa Fe contemporary art space. The city is also known for its annual Santa Fe Indian Market, which showcases the work of Native American artists from around the country.

In addition to the city’s architecture and art, Santa Fe is known for its unique blend of cultures and traditions, which have been shaped by the city’s long history as a trading center and cultural crossroads. Today, Santa Fe remains a vibrant and eclectic city that is beloved by artists, architects, and visitors from around the world. Continue reading “Santa Fe Modern”

In 1902, she returned to New York, and later became involved with the avant-garde art scene upon meeting her first husband, the photographer Paul Strand. James was a self-taught painter, but was surrounded by artists in the Stieglitz circle. She was close friends with Marsden Hartley and Georgia O’Keeffe, both of whom were influences on her work and supportive of her career.
