2023 Burning Man Installations 

Every year, artists from all over the world come to Burning Man to donate their art installations for free.

This year is no exception. Over 400 art installations at Burning Man 2023 are standing on the Black Rock Desert, becoming a beautiful sight at Burning Man.

What are the most eye-catching and creative art installations at Burning Man 2023? Today, we will select 11 most popular and widespread art installations online to experience their charm.

The theme of Burning Man 2023 is to pay tribute to the animal kingdom and the role of humans in it. Therefore, among over 400 art installations, most feature animals and natural elements.

The Hive 

Tim Bremner

For this year's Burning Man, the central "Man" pavilion is both a sculpture and a central plaza. This year's "man" base is designed by Oakland artist Tim Bremner in the form of a honeycomb, consisting of wooden hexagons stacked one after another.

Temple of the Heart

Ela Madej&Reed Finlay

This installation is the official temple of Burning Man 2023. It is designed as an inverted desert flower with its stem pointing to the sky.

The all-wood lattice structure, designed by artists Ela Madej and Reed Finlay, was CNC-machined and took over two weeks to assemble after arriving at the Burning Man site. The temple was originally a place for meditation and mourning, and was burned down in the final hours of the event this year.

Chalice to Eleusis

Hunter Leggitt&Jonathan Berry&House of Fābl

This chalice-shaped installation is also one of the hit art installations on the internet this year. The sculpture, named "Chalice to Eleusis," is designed in the image of the kykeon, a spiritual drink that was consumed during the celebrations of the ancient Greek mystery cult. This gigantic sculpture looks like a cup that has just been dug out of the sand, showcasing the knowledge of the Eleusians. 

Heartburst 

(OU) Officeuntitled

This art installation, a rectangular entrance built by the co-founders of (OU) Officeuntitled, Benjamin Anderson, Christian Robert, and Shawn Gehle, was constructed with over 880 bamboo poles imported from Malaysia.

According to the team, the material was chosen for its "grounded" quality. The design team estimates that the carbon sequestration of the poles used for the sculpture is -7.5 tons, equivalent to the carbon footprint of an American household in one year.

The Reactor Project

Assaf Allouche

The project, called "The Reactor Project," is made up of wood slats and LED lights, providing a space for Burners to rest and connect.

Build a Seat 2.0 

Mo Osunbor

The "Build a Seat" project showcases a collection of wooden chairs designed by a group of Black artists, which are arranged around a giant table. The works are interactive, and the table's spiral base can be used as a spiral staircase to the top.

Masterpiece #999

Benjamin Rowe

Masterpiece #999 is described as a "ghost in the dust" and is twice the height of a human. It is the latest project from designer Benjamin Rowe, and the wooden sculpture is the "latest in a long line of projects that explore the potential of simple materials to communicate geometric art information."

Chapel of Babel

Michael Garlington

The "Chapel of Babel" project is a multi-story hexagonal wooden structure with the surface covered by black-and-white portrait photography by Michael Garlington. The black-and-white portrait photos are printed on panels and then attached to the sides of the structure.

Blastoff

Weld Queen

The "Blastoff" installation may look familiar to some people. That's because it was built on top of a small airplane runway sculpture that was created during the Burning Man festival in 2019. It has returned to Black Rock City this year.

The tower is adjacent to a row of ready-made airplane seats, making it look like a plane taking off vertically. Its tail provides a place to escape the heat.

BitCube

Colin O' Donnell

The "BitCube" installation is probably one of the most photographed art installations at Burning Man this year, after the temple. It was designed by Colin O'Donnell and is made up of 224 standard IBC water containers stacked together to form a large cube that visitors can enter through a door on one side. Each container acts as a single pixel in a color light display, creating projections ranging from abstract shapes to minimalist representations of life.

Love Pods 

Josephine Declerck 

Josephine Declerck's "Love Pods" are obelisk-shaped wooden structures that visitors can enter through a circular door. Inside, a colorful light display provides a place for Burning Man attendees to rest and connect.

Glass, a material with a long history and commonly used in life, first appeared in ancient Egypt before the Common Era. At that time, people used glass to make beautiful glass beads; the Romans used glass to make decorative utensils and mosaics.

Until the Middle Ages, craftsmen began to use colorful paints to create vibrant stained glass. The countless breathtaking stained glass windows in churches reflect the kaleidoscopic colors of heaven, bringing people an indescribable spiritual enjoyment.

Glass is transparent in color and reflects light. It can be made into a variety of shapes and shades, and can be processed and etched by various methods such as cutting, polishing, and casting. Whether blown, cast, or cut, there are endless artistic possibilities.

This post shares three world-renowned glass art masters. They use glass as a medium to express things that cannot be expressed in words or other ways. That unique feeling of the world can also bring us aesthetic enjoyment and spiritual insights. We will divide it into 3 parts; this is the third part.

NO.03

Karen LaMonte

In general, feminist art is often controversial or discussed, and Karen LaMonte is no exception.

As a renowned contemporary female artist, she uses glass as a medium to express elegant and soft feminine qualities through rich and delicate artistic language.

Karen LaMonte's Story

Karen graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1990. She then left New York and went to the independent art studio of Zdenek Lhotsky and his wife in the Czech Republic to study glass art.

In the early days, Karen used the blown glass technique to create glass sculptures. Later, she used the cast glass method to shape them. She constantly explores new ways of expression to convey her understanding and insights into female identity.

In Karen's view, the body is both a social symbol and a personal identity. Clothing that covers the body has a deeper meaning, not only to hide the real body shape, but also to protect the fragile inner self.

Karen tries to use "glass clothes" as a metaphor, using clothing and other objects with gender-symbolic significance to explore the consciousness, spirit, and space between natural and social skin.

In the creation process, Karen uses the glass casting technique that has been passed down for nearly 5,000 years to present the texture and pattern of silk and fabric. The exquisitely carved designs are crystal clear, with the beauty of "I'd like to ride the wind to fly home. "

These glass dresses weighing 500 pounds take several months to complete. However, each fold is delicate and exquisite, perfect, and can even present the details of the clothing pattern and skin texture.

It is only an empty shell, but it seems a real woman is in it, and the plump posture and soft body are faintly visible.

Although it is a solid material, it has a strong and flexible character background color and is soft in toughness. Every aspect of a woman is mined and amplified by her, creating timeless art.

They are not cold like ice sculptures, and they are not like smoke blowing and dispersing, but they bring together the beauty of both. Crystal clear, flowing graceful, pure and transparent, it seems to have a secret soul, hidden in transparent clothing, and people can not help but want to find out.

Anything without color will return to its essence. After light exposure, the glass dress produces rich layers and textures such as semi-transparent, frosted, and faded, like transparent wedding dresses that absorb light and shadow, layering rich colors and blurred Spaces.

In addition to her world-renowned glass dresses, Karen is also known for her Japanese kimono collection.

Translucent semi-hazy glass, showing the interpretation of female beauty, exaggerated shoulder straps and rich ruffles, fully show the femininity.

Or as a lady on a bed, or as a young girl to pick daisies, realistic and vivid. It looks soft as silk, but it's hard as steel.

Marvin Lipofsky

As a pioneer of Handicraft workshop glass art, Marvin Lipofsky has been dedicated to exploring new forms of art through glass blowing since the 1960s.

Lipofsky studied industrial design in college, and then switched to metal, ceramics, and glass blowing in graduate school. He then joined the Department of Decorative Arts at Berkeley, where he founded the first glass blowing studio, which laid the foundation for his lifelong career.

Lipofsky's Story

In the 1970s, Lipofsky stretched glass into different shapes and added artificial silk velvet to give it a unique matte finish, which was a breakthrough in the field of glass-blowing sculpture.

Since then, Marvin has continued to explore new techniques and different media, such as applying decals to glass, spraying paint on the surface, and melting metal salts into the glass to create unique textures with varying levels of transparency.

As a visiting artist at 26 art institutions around the world, Marvin traveled to art workshops around the world throughout his long career, collaborating with other artists to nurture inspiration and spark creativity, and continuously presenting stunning glass art.

For example, the vibrant colors used by the Venini glass workshop in Murano, Italy, inspired Marvin's Venini series, which features delicate sculptures with wavy, sparkling stripes.

The glass gradually takes on elegant and graceful natural forms and dazzling surface textures through cutting, grinding, sandblasting, and acid etching.

In the Czech Republic's NovyBo Crystalex-Hantich glass factory, Marvin began experimenting with the Crystalex-Hantich series, as well as the IGS series, which features complex shell shapes.

Marvin's sculptures of blown glass, which combine the properties of different materials, not only use glass in interior decoration and functional areas, but also showcase its great potential as an artistic medium.

Marvin Lipofsky's unique glass art is both aesthetically abstract and highly sensory, vividly depicting vibrant forms and textures. Sometimes, it resembles the light and shadow of early spring, and sometimes it is like the deep sea.

Lipofsky spent his life exploring ways to use art to express his unique insights into the natural world and his emotional responses to moments in time.

Using different processing methods and composite materials, such as stretching and tearing, Lipofsky both preserved the characteristics of blown glass and allowed it to transcend functional containers, becoming a medium for new techniques and artistic creativity.

As a key figure in the studio glass art movement, Lipofsky's work is colorful and vibrant, with free-flowing forms that resemble beautiful flowers or brilliant creatures, exuding a dynamic life.

Dale Chihuly

The uncrowned king of world glass art, for decades, there is only one: Dale Chihuly.

With his exquisite craftsmanship and abundant inspiration, this one-eyed hero subverted the creative tradition passed down for thousands of years, and truly elevated glass to art.

Chihuly's Story

Chihuly grew up in Tacoma, a city in western Washington. His childhood surrounded by the sea and the forest profoundly impacted him, and the natural imagery in his works is bright and vivid, with a vigorous passion for life.

In 1968, Chihuly traveled to Europe on a Fulbright scholarship while studying at the University of Washington. He first encountered Italian glass art at the Venini factory on Murano Island in Venice.

He then studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, and in 1971, established the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington, leading glass creation to break through with his unique style.

Visual art requires the use of two eyes to perceive three-dimensionality and depth. But in 1976, a car accident not only left Chihuly with a shoulder injury, but also took his left eye, which was almost fatal.

However, Chihuly did not give up in the face of adversity. He took several years to adjust to his condition, and tried to detach himself from the actual operation, but communicate with his colleagues in the studio by drawing and guiding. He continued to create countless pieces of glass art that is breathtaking.

Nature is an eternal source of inspiration. Chihuly often gains new insights and inspiration from nature, the ocean, primitive art, and exotic cultures.

"Cylinders" and "Baskets" series

Famous glass art series include: the "Cylinders" and "Baskets" series in the 1970s, which originated from household utensils:

The thin spiral-shaped utensils are combined with each other, organic curling, colorful and bright, passionate and unrestrained.

The "Seaforms" and "Venetians" series in the 1980s pay tribute to the mysterious nature and the deep ocean: thin and transparent colored spirals are full of charming rhythm and life flow.

"Macchia" series

In the "Macchia" series, Chihuly blends more than 300 colors into glass art. The winding contours and colorful borders shape a sharp contrast to the crystal-clear utensils.

It looks like flowers blooming in the forest, or soft creatures in the water, delicate and mysterious.

With the birth of inspiration and the mastery of skills, Chihuly tried to blend color, light and shadow, atmosphere and space into glass art creation.

"Persian" series

The "Persian" series, which was born in the 1990s, weaves the history, atmosphere and feeling of the Byzantine and Persian empires in the East. While pursuing excellence in craftsmanship, it fully demonstrates imagination and creativity.

The extended light and shadow spill into every corner of the space, full of brilliant and passionate dramatic effects.

Persian Ceiling

"Niijima Floats", "Towers" and "Chandeliers" series

In the 1990s, Chihuly created the "Niijima Floats", "Towers" and his signature "Chandeliers" series. The abstract avant-garde features are paired with a charming nostalgic atmosphere, dreamy and beautiful.

Subsequently, Chihuly perfectly integrated glass installation art with indoor and outdoor spaces and natural environments, creating a large number of valuable display exhibits:

"Dale Chihuly: Beyond the Object"

Exhibition "Dale Chihuly: Beyond the Object", using glass sculptures to transform indoor spaces. In an unprecedented way, explore the visual effects that light and color bring to the space. 

"Chihuly Takes Over Venice" 

In 1995, "Chihuly Takes Over Venice" placed large-scale glass sculptures in public spaces such as the lakeside square in Venice, as part of the city's landscape, and interacted fully with nature and humanity.

 "Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem"

In 1999, Chihuly launched the challenging exhibition "Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem", which showcased sixteen glass installation art of different colors in the David's Tower in Jerusalem.

Chihuly in the Light of Jerusalem

"Garden Series"

Chihuly also excels at seamlessly integrating natural landscapes and artistic creations.

The "Garden Series", which began in 2001 at the Garfield Conservatory in Chicago, has been exhibited at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and around the world.

The mysterious colors contain infinite variations in shape, creating a brilliance and beauty beyond nature with unique forms and scales.

The dazzling moment of life's bloom makes people feel as if they are in the rainforest, aurora borealis, and ocean.

"Chihuly Gardenand Glass"

The famous "Chihuly Gardenand Glass" in Washington, DC, is considered the world's glass art hall of fame: colorful and magnificent trees tower, flowers bloom, as if gathering all the bright colors in the world.

Chihuly's glass art always blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Because "everywhere I go, I always imagine what I can do to make it more dazzling and let people get closer to their souls."

Chihuly uses a combination of shapes, light and shadow, and space to perfectly blend craftsmanship and artistic creation, creating a charming dreamscape through colorful colors, delicate lines, and natural forms.

Chihuly said: "I'm not sure what my original intention was, I just wanted to create something truly wonderful."

As a world-class master of glass art, Chihuly has elevated glass from a craft to an environmental art. Most importantly, he completely changed people's perception of glass.

In 2024, the design world will see a surge in popularity of “gemstone amber” color. Its rich hues will add a touch of luxury to your interior design.

Colorful natural stone has always been an essential part of the home, especially for its inherent colors and patterns. Amber color is a tone derived from semi-transparent gemstones, just like jade green and cobalt blue, which are both natural gemstone colors.

Amber color is actually a range of colors, not a specific color. It is a type of orange, with the vitality of red and the happiness and optimism of yellow.

According to the NCS color code S 2060-Y30R, amber color is more inclined to yellow than red, and it also contains some black, so it has a low saturation and will not cause visual impact.

S 2060-Y30R

In short, amber is a perfect soft tone, as warm as earth colors. It can bring a comfortable feeling of being embraced by the earth when used in the interior. In 2024, it will appear in various forms in the interior space, such as high-quality furniture designed in combination with semi-transparent materials such as glass and resin, as well as artworks, textiles, and wall paints.

NO.1 Amber Color in Home Decor

In the home space, the use of amber is not as bold as in architectural space. It often appears in the form of some home products, especially those with a glossy finish, such as glass and resin. They are like simulating the natural amber color, making people feel a refreshing atmosphere. Textiles, wall paints, and tiles also find a warm feeling in amber.

The colorful furniture brand Montana has also recently designed a series of trays in amber and other colors.

Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis is a genius at using color and light. In her home furnishing collection with IKEA, lighting, carpets, glassware, and candy boxes are decorated in warm amber colors, exploring the beauty of color and natural and artificial light.

NO.2 Amber Color Interior Design

In addition to product design, amber is also popular in architectural space design. In this mountain villa in Canada, Jean Verville Studio fully utilized the effects of materials and optics to introduce the amber glow into the space. The unique curved shapes and dazzling amber colors are everywhere, and the textures, colors, and materials all reflect light, making it a kaleidoscope-like space.

Lamps, side tables, and utensils, the amber glow emitted by the amber color under the penetration of light is hidden in the space to form ripples like the waves of a lake, intertwining with light and shadow, which is one of the choices for adding a glossy feel to the space. They can be well matched with blue, green, and wood colors.

NO.3 Amber Color in Wall Paints

In Montana's product photos, we often see amber appearing on the walls and floors, paired with colorful furniture. This shows the versatility of amber. It is suitable for matching with light colors, such as yellow for a monochromatic look, or green for an analogous color scheme. Not to mention some neutral light tones. For a more daring look, try pairing amber with blue and adding some pink for a truly eye-catching effect.

NO.4 Amber Color in Textiles

Sabine Marcelis' IKEA collection shows us the beauty of amber gradient carpets. Teklan, the color queen, always changes her bedroom bedding with the change of seasons. Recently, we saw her change to amber-like sheets, paired with soft pink tones. The combination of amber and textiles brings a warm feeling, which is very suitable for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons. We can change our sofas, pillows, bedding, and carpets to amber, which can hug you according to the season.

NO.5 Amber Color in Artworks

Deep and shallow amber colors fall irregularly on different parts of this sculpture. The strong abdominal muscle shape looks incredibly strong. The seemingly natural colors form a kind of beauty of strength with both hardness and softness.

Roman portraits express their spiritual qualities mainly through the head, while Greeks express them through body postures and movements. Therefore, if a Roman statue is missing its head, the remaining parts have no meaning. On the other hand, the life of Greek statues is full of all parts of the body. Even if only the arms and torso are left, they can still give people a unique sense of vitality and beauty.
