In addition to the in-gallery presentation of No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man, the Renwick is expanding beyond its walls for the first time through an outdoor extension of the exhibition entitled No Spectators: Beyond the Renwick, displaying sculptures from Burning Man throughout the surrounding neighborhood in partnership with DC’s Golden Triangle Business Improvement District (BID).
No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man
March 30, 2018 – September 16, 2018
The exhibition will take over the entire Renwick Gallery building, bringing alive the maker culture of Burning Man through artworks, room-sized installations, jewelry, costumes, and ephemera that will transport visitors to the gathering’s famed desert location, the “playa.” Immersive works by individual artists and collectives will highlight the ingenuity and creative spirit of this cultural movement. Photographs and archival documents drawn from the Burning Man Archives at the Nevada Museum of Art and their exhibition City of Dust: The Evolution of Burning Man will trace Burning Man’s growth and its bohemian, counterculture roots.
While photographing, I ran into into artist Kate Raudenbush finishing up her "Future's Past" piece. She showed pictures of how she had been installing it during our recent snow storm. Months later, I also ran into her dismantling her piece. They had planned to keep it up longer but anticipated winter storms pushed the schedule up a bit. Funny how snow storms were involved in both setting up and taking down the piece.
