large-scale project for Burning Man, and that we would be making a
call for artists soon. Well, here ya go. Short form: we have 27
columns representing geological ages of the earth, they each have a
plexi box, you get to fill that box with Art! Read on if interested.

We are now accepting proposals for all 27 Timescale chapter columns!

Timescale is a journey through 4.57 billion years of planet Earth's
geological and biological evolution, extended across one mile (5280
feet) of open playa. Beginning with the formation of the Earth from a
cloud of gas and dust, participants will traverse through time —
advancing two million years with each footstep, culminating at the
present day.

Twenty-seven chapters in Earth's growth are highlighted along the way,
allowing participants to appreciate the transformation of our planet
and the exponential complexity of living things.  Each chapter will be
marked by an 8-inch square column rising from the playa surface. The
6.5-foot tall column holds a clear box that contains a sculptural
representation pertaining to that period of time.

We are actively looking for artists to create column sculptures.
Pieces should evoke an event, creature or other aspect of the chosen
chapter's unique story. We will provide a well-lit clear display box
eight inches wide and deep, and twelve inches tall. Electricity will
be available for your installation if coordinated in advance.

For more information about this Burning Man art project, including
display details, a list of chapters, and an artist proposal submission
form, please visit the Timescale web site at:

Feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested!

Thanks!

Morley
