I love this one!

"Michael Christian makes the kind of #art that resonates with everyone. #Key #Note is my favorite #large #structure of the decade. It's made entirely from #locks -- all kinds of locks, from #bike locks to #padlocks. I can only image seeing this #eerie #man come into sight through the #dust #storms, #dragging the #large #key behind him. Michael states that the man is in search of another key, the right key, a #paradox of #life as we know it."__ http://matadornetwork.com/nights/12-coolest-art-installations-in-the-history-of-burning-man/?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=promo

30 of the coolest Burning Man art installations ever [pics]

By Katie Scott Aiton / August 14, 2013

#Art has become the defining feature of Burning Man, as the festival continues to be a testing ground for a growing circle of artists seeking engaged audiences. Burning Man art installations are guided by the themes chosen by the festival organizers each year. The most compelling works are large-scale constructions that are burned at the end of this extraordinary event.

Whether you’ve missed the boat on a ticket or don’t have the funds for this year’s event, hopefully this gallery will offer you a window into what goes down each year at Black Rock City. However, if you are one of the lucky people reading this in your disco sunnies about to head out to the desert — get inspired, get pumped, and enjoy.

This unique modern steel sculpture reaches 40 feet into the heavens and challenges all past engineering feats and techniques seen in previous years. The #dancing #lady has been crafted to celebrate #humanity, #feminine #beauty, and the #power that can be harnessed when there is #balance on our #earth.
