I lost my camera on Wednesday at the Bijou Theater in the deep playa or somewhere around there. It's black, with a strap. YOu can have the camera if you want but please send me the card with my pix on it, that's all I ask. Please contact me if you have it.

I meant http://www.burningman.com/installations/09_art_brc.html

but I just looked through the listings and I don't see this one, so it was a walk-in and they would have registered it at the ARTery. Try Bettie June.

try looking through this page:
http://www.burningman.com/installations/

if you dont find it , it was a "walk-in" and you could try emailing
[email protected] to find out what it is and who made it.

I'm glad the art car museum talk inspired you!

change is the one thing we know is ongoing and inevitable!

HI everyone 0 Yes, I've left Burning Man to work for newZonia: www.newzonia.org/info. Sorry to have neglected the e-playa - I posted something to Tribe and there was an announcement on the JRS. Tribe post: I have resigned from my position as Art Curator. I've had my job for ten years, and it's time ...

I just became aware of this thread, and wanted you to know that i posted my departure on Tribe and in the JRS. Here is the Tribe announcement, from Sept.17: I have resigned from my position as Art Curator. I've had my job for ten years, and it's time for me to pass it on. I've been recruited by newZ...

Who said anything about embracing the American Dream? The theme is not about the dream itself - this is everyone's opportunity to RESPOND to the American dream, negative or positive. People tend to take the themes too literally, without looking into their content. I've read that people think it's pa...

To COwboy Logic, who said," This isn’t the time for the world’s most incredible, pan-national, counter-culture arts festival to embrace the American Dream. " Who said anything about embracing it?

I was gifted a large pewter pendant of the BRC map last year, by its maker. It vanished one day and I'd love to find the maker. Anyone?

How nice of you! You can send it to me at po box 884688, sf 94188. also, send me an email ( to ladybee at burningman dot com) with a description and contact info and i'll photograph it and upload it to our playa artifacts gallery on the website.

many thanks - LBee

Can you send me an image of your pendant?

thanks - LB

Thanks so much, but that's not him.


Anybody????

During the event, a lovely gentleman gifted me with a large pewter pendant in the shape of the city map. I'd like to contact him - does anyone out there know who he is?

many thanks - LB

Geekster- I still dont' think you get how the art is placed: "That is kindof what I was talking about. How much input do the PARTICIPANTS have in the process of where art gets placed? It seemed at first glance like it is an "all or nothing" thing. Put your art where it has been decided it will be pl...

2000 Theme art: 60 Playa art: 110 total: 170
2001 Theme : 44 Playa: 80 total: 124
2002 Theme : 87 Playa: 76 total: 163
2003: theme 106 Playa 71 Walk in 80 No shows: 27 total 230
2004 Theme 81 Playa 95 Walk in 46 No shows - 40 total: 182

Actually there were about 40 no-shows in 2004 - projects that registered online and either didn't show up at all or didn't check in at the Artery. That's not so unusual, and we had 45 "walk in" projects to balance it out. Often people register their projects before they've actually started them, and...

What projects applied for funding but were denied and why? In 2004 we had about 80 proposals, 28 of which got grants. We don't publish the projects that don't get funded - why would we do this? I've never seen a list of non-funded projects from any grant-making institution. A list of such projects w...

HI there - One thing I've noticed in all the posts criticizing the art is that people are 1) quick to blame the organizers for the alleged "lack of art" and 2) most people complaining have little or no understanding of our art funding and management process. So here's a document we've just added to ...

"But if shipping and logistics are the majority of the cost, perhaps a "homegrown" version can be created. This does not look particularly difficult, the LPHO site provides quite a bit of detail that can be gleaned...perhaps fewer octaves for starters? " NOw that's the kind of idea we would get behi...

The premise of Borg2's idea is that the art they fund will be placed in their own territory. Why would Burning Man fund that art? We will fund art that gets placed all over the playa, as usual, but not in the Borg2 zone. It's their responsibililty to fund their art, period. So in fact artists do hav...

I "blithely dismissed" the LHPO, Jim??? Nope, I looked through their site, thought it sounded great, but the cost of bringing this project to Burning Man was prohibitive....shipping a huge, heavy metal installation from Europe, in addition to flying the crew over, is beyond our costs. We try to spre...

Indeed. Jim, please don't rewrite our history for your own ends. The event moved from Baker Beach to the Black Rock Desert in 1990, and many of the original players did not make art, but contributed in other, equally important, ways. The art was central, but it was not the sole focus of the event, w...

I've been on the inside a bit and I can tell you all that administrating the creative process of building burningman anew each year is much harder that anyone outs side the process can imagine. Creating the art that drives the event is also much harder than the insiders would believe. I myself has g...

This just in: interesting LONG response to the petition, from Saul Melman, 03 and 04 grant recipient:
