Subject: [Time] Timescale Project: Call for Column Artists! Make art with us!<br>

<br>
We are now accepting proposals for all 27 Timescale chapter columns!<br>
<br>
Timescale is a journey through 4.57 billion years of planet Earth's<br>
geological and biological evolution, extended across one mile (5280<br>
feet) of open playa. Beginning with the formation of the Earth from a<br>
cloud of gas and dust, participants will traverse through time �<br>
advancing two million years with each footstep, culminating at the<br>
present day.<br>
<br>
Twenty-seven chapters in Earth's growth are highlighted along the way,<br>
allowing participants to appreciate the transformation of our planet<br>
and the exponential complexity of living things. �Each chapter will be<br>
marked by an 8-inch square column rising from the playa surface. The<br>
6.5-foot tall column holds a clear box that contains a sculptural<br>
representation pertaining to that period of time.<br>
<br>
We are actively looking for artists to create column sculptures.<br>
Pieces should evoke an event, creature or other aspect of the chosen<br>
chapter's unique story. We will provide a well-lit clear display box<br>
eight inches wide and deep, and twelve inches tall. Electricity will<br>
be available for your installation if coordinated in advance.<br>
<br>
For more information about this Burning Man art project, including<br>
display details, a list of chapters, and an artist proposal submission<br>
form, please visit the Timescale web site at:<br>
