Registered Art Installations 2009
Name	Description
THE MAN	The largest and most central burnable art structure at Kiwiburn is The Man, a 4 meter high wooden effigy which will be burned on the Sunday night after the Temple burn. "The Man" is the core of the Burning Man festival, which itself has roots in an ancient pagan ritual, 1000's of years old. Read more about the history of the early years of Burning Man here. Kiwiburn as New Zealand's Burning Man Regional aims to inspire a similar bringing together of the community as in the early days of Burning Man: "Today a colony and soon, an international community of like-minded friends — all drawn by this towering effigy — a gateway to a primal ecstasy of communion, celebration and consummation."
THE TEMPLE	The Temple is a Burning Man tradition. Each year, a non-denominational temple is built where anybody can go to meditate, pray, perform ritual or just contemplate quietly. Many people choose to write messages to loved ones, or notes of things they would like to let go from their past, or simply thoughts they would like to put out to the universe and leave them in the temple. As the festival progresses and more people leave their messages of hope, loss and life, an energy builds up in the Temple, culminating in the burning on the last night, a giant cathartic release of emotion. The Temple will burn on the Sunday night after sunset.

Does your piece intend to provide anything other than aesthetics?
eg can it be climbed on, does it provide shelter, is it interactive in any way?

*Is there anything that you seek from the community for your work?
eg you may need help with transport, or from a local in sourcing materials, or you may want someone to run a collective kitchen... whatever you need- feel free to ask.

*Team member contribution:
Large Art takes effort and materials to set up and run. A work may require a financial or participatory contribution from those involved to cover the costs and get things done. Large Art (and Kiwiburn as a whole) is non commercial and all camps should be run on a not for profit basis.
