We are a few artists who want to make a project for Burningman.
We are currently working on a Letter of Intent for the Burningman organization and getting our budget needs calculated. Our project will recreate the Weird Al song “Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota,”(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv_QUiDYTTg) but do it in Nevada. We are aiming to have a large, burnable ball of twine that the community can contribute to. It will be under a “makeshift” pagoda, next to that, we will have a twine ball museum with docents and a “gift shop” with postcards, pickled weiners and diet chocolate soda, among MANY other things.
We also would like a non-moving art car, preferably a 53 DeSoto, but we’re not sure if we can source one.
Interactivity will include twine ball winding for the public to add to it, docent tours and lectures on the history of twine balls. We may have Weird Al sing along night(s), with, perhaps live accordion.
