THE BURNING MAN PROJECT- RUBBER HORSES!!

Josie: Howdy everyone!The best thing for a big night out is vegemite on hot toast with peppermint tea....mmm....I feel like shit...but here goes.....

I found the absolutely most coolest thing eva! Really! I don't think you all will need much or any convincing once you've seen these pictures...Are the awesome or what? So I was flickering through the Art In America journal, june/july no. 6 2006, page 112 and came across this thingcalled RUBBER HORSES by Dorothy Trojanowski. I looked more into it and there is a festival called the "Burning Man Project". It is really really bizarre, people go to this place in America called Black Rock Desert for one week and live as a community, I think it is sort of like a game and everyone is a player, and they all make crazy installtions and dress up in funny costumes. It isn't a big party or anything, but there is some absolutely wicked stuff made here.

"Burning Man is an annual art festival and temporary community based on radical self expression and self-reliance in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada"...(google search)

So Dorothy Trojanowski of Brooklyn, created these horse sculptures made from rubber...(hence the name duh)....and steel. They're in the middle of the desert and I think just look amazing! You know like they look so wild and free and they're massive! So in the evening shadows would be made of these huge horses.....I really love it.

I've tried attatching some pictures of other artists work from the event as well as the attatchment link to the burning man site....for some stupid reason the computer would only let me upload one image- not the 3 that I wanted to, but I really would say to cheak it out guys, some of the stuff is really cool and extremely unique. There is alot of stuff with metal and fire that is burnt at nighttime to make it red like the desert, you will see what I mean if you see it!
