Sculpture by Osha Neumann / Lawyer, Activist, Artist
"Her skirt waves, her hair blows ~ Made out of driftwood and rusty metal, the 'Water Lady' also known as the 'Water Goddess' embraces the sky, the birds flying by, and the people who seek peace and freedom at an abandoned land."
The Albany Bulb - A force of nature where concrete slabs, twisted rebar, trash, creativity, and flowers meet the bay. A landfill that was once the disposal of construction debris... transformed into a wild world of urban art / April 04, 2015

IRAQ
On this day one can't help but think of the looting of the National Museum of Iraq in Baghdad / April 2003.
When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, the National Museum of Iraq (where the Mask of Warka was stored) was thoroughly looted. The Mask is thought to have been taken between April 10 and 12 of that year, along with forty other pieces, including the Vase of Warka and Bassetki Statue.
This is one of the pieces that was stolen and later recovered.
We are also reminded of the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the Taliban in Afghanistan / March 2001.
Archaeologist McGuire Gibson of the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute said, "People don't understand that Iraq is more important than Egypt in world heritage. The whole country is an archaeological site."
#Burning #Man #Coolest #Art #Installations #Ever #Our #World

#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.
