2008 Temple Details, Call for Junk
Posted by Alison, under ArtThe 2008 Temple has been dubbed the Basura Sagrada, and they are looking for your trash to add to it. They are accepting things both small and large, and are also asking for donations. Read on.
From the JRS (Jack Rabbit Speaks) newsletter:
The 2008 Temple will be built by Shrine and Tucker, who did the Tasseograph Tea Temple “in 2007, and it’s called BASURA SAGRADA (”sacred trash”), a reference to Antonio Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
Tucker writes:
“We are extremely humbled by this opportunity and hope to create a temple worthy of the name. The responsibilities that come with a project like this are incredible, but we are happily moving forward. Burning Man has been generous in their support of this project, and yet we know that it will take much more to realize the vision. If this is truly to be a temple for the community, then we need your help to make it happen. More than that, we want you to be involved!
“If all goes as we hope, the entire temple space should be somewhere around 70 feet high and 120 feet wide.”
*phew* The ‘06 temple was disappointingly puny compared to the ‘04 one. Glad they have grandiose plans. Especially since we probably won’t see something as spectacular as the “waffle” burn again.
