redbones my name, doing arts my game! I do ceramics and printmaking and what ever else I can find the time to dabble in- video, digital photography, casting bronze, silkscreening, and most recently stencil/graffitti art. Im a fith year burner this year, so Im planning many things to bestow unto my fellow playa people. The past few years Ive made ceramic medallions to gift, which Im doing more of this year.
oh yeah, Im a highschool art teacher too. ...word!

> I'm another of the artspacers.

Me too.

I have my artistic moments, but mostly I'm good at "behinds the scenes" stuff. I like to work on the things that are not obviously noticeable, except when you notice them. ;)

I love the idea of having a gallery on the playa and can't wait to work with everyone to make it happen.

Kambra,

Yes, we are good folks! I'm guessing the camp will be about twenty people. (It is not necessary to camp with us to display art with us.) Keeping the camp to twenty will allow us more flexibility in placement. (There are size restrictions in the Plazas and near Center Camp.) I'm not sure where we will request yet, but regardless, they can stick us anywhere they choose. I may be able to tell you what we will request in a week, but we won't be formally placed until July. LLC has expressed interest in our concept, so that may help us get good placement.

We are tentatively planning what will be a new communal meal experiment for us. For dinners, there will be a communally planned menu, and communally purchased ingredients, but rather than assigning cooking and cleaning duties each night, we are just going to have it so that anyone can go in on any given night and get the ball rolling. We hope that it will result in meal preparation that is both more of a community activity (instead of waiting on a couple of people to do all the cooking on a given night) as well as a gift to your fellow campmates. The potential downside is that some people could end up doing a disproportionate amount of work, but we have a good core group and don't expect it to be a big problem. (Breakfast and lunch you will be on your own, but there will be a communal kitchen available and you know how people tend to share out there.)

We have a large dome that will be a communal shade space. We eat our meals there and chill. (It is not for camping in.) We will also have a communal shower and evap pond, but you are responsible for your own shower water. We have one small, quiet generator. Electricity priorities are, in order: lighting art in the gallery, dome needs (lighting, music, kitchen, etc.), needs of the generator owner, needs of everyone else. There should be power to spare so long as you aren't charging an art car or something. There will be camp dues to help cover artspace construction and transport. The dues have not been determined yet, but will be between $50 and $150 a person.

We are looking forward to seeing your photography! We are probably limiting display space to one piece per artist. Display space will be guaranteed to camp members.

Hey y'all, What up? I'm a fine art photographer living in Ashland, Oregon, heading to my fifth Burn. I've got some crazy fine art pics of outdoor scenics and Burning Man. I always bring a bunch of photos and cards to gift on the Playa and would love to hang a pic or two in your cool camp.

You can view a few of my BM pics as well as some outdoor scenics in my profile album. And my web site (in progress) is www.newmanimages.com.

Thanks for creating this camp!
