Stuart talks about Burning Man art, making art, and making art about the art, with Jennifer Raiser, author of the book “Art on Fire,” Sophia Swire, producer of the new film of the same name, and Andrew Johnstone, one of the artists profiled in the film.
Burning Man art has become a movement in the mainstream art world and in popular culture, and spawning museum shows, books, and films. In what ways does this radically participatory, highly interactive form of expression translate from its desert home to these more traditional channels?
Jennifer Raiser is a member of the board of directors of Burning Man Project and the author of books including The Art of Being Bill: Bill Murray and the Many Faces of Awesome, In the Spirit of Napa Valley, and Burning Man: Art on Fire. She’s also a Black Rock Ranger and answers to the playa name “Coco Cabana.”
Joining us today from London is Sophia Swire, an entrepreneur, activist, author and film-maker. She’s produced documentaries for BBC Channel 4 and her latest film, Art on Fire, will be premiered online, on Burning Man’s Kindling channel, on August 15th.
Andrew Johnstone is an Oakland based artist, painter, muralist, and longtime Burning Man contributor. For close to 20 years he worked with Burning Man founder Larry Harvey to design one of the most ambitious works of interactive art in Black Rock City, the Man base or pavilion, which changes every year according to the annual art theme and forms the centerpiece of the city.
