Description of Pictures: The moving van showed up during the Trump/Fox shutdown to send the Art of Burning Man off to its next stop. It was a disappointing way to end such a great exhibit -- it should have had a lot of visitors in its final weeks.
David Best's Temple is the only piece left in the museum itself. There is at least one piece in the "Beyond" section still up -- Hybycozo's Golden Spike at Farragut North.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BURNAR_190123_18.JPG: A moving van parked at the Renwick Gallery, awaiting the wonderful No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man. The exhibit was scheduled to close on January 21, 2019. Of course, with the Trump shutdown, all Smithsonian museums closed after January 1 so no one could see this exhibit (or any others) for its last three weeks. Since there were contractual obligations to send the exhibit traveling to other museums (first stop -- the Cincinnati Art Museum), unpaid Smithsonian staff had to come in and close out the exhibit, pack it up, and send it on its way. What a sad ending to a glorious exhibit!

Description of Subject Matter: No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man
March 30, 2018 – January 21, 2019
The exhibition takes 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 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.

PLEASE NOTE: THE EXHIBITION WILL CLOSE IN TWO PHASES
The first floor galleries will be open through September 16, 2018. This includes works by Candy Chang, Marco Cochrane, Duane Flatmo, Michael Garlington and Natalia Bertotti, Five Ton Crane Arts Collective, Scott Froschauer, Android Jones, and Richard Wilks.
The second floor galleries will be open through January 21, 2019. This includes works by David Best, FoldHaus Art Collective, Aaron Taylor Kuffner, HYBYCOZO (Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu), Christopher Schardt, and Leo Villareal.
