Excerpt
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): The nation's largest outdoor art festival, Burning Man, and how it's massive sculptures are popping up beyond their annual desert home.
Our report is by Thuy Vu of KQED Public Television in San Francisco.
THUY VU, KQED Public Television: Every year, thousands of artists make the trek to Nevada to display their work in one of the most extreme environments imaginable.
For one week, five square miles of the Black Rock Desert is transformed into a more than 300-piece exhibition of radical self-expression.
TOMAS MCCABE, Black Rock Arts Foundation: It is like the greatest museum ever. You have your piece there. You don't see any other pieces around it and you see this vastness of the desert. Being able to see the change in scale from something from a distance, and then being able to get right up to it and climb on top of it and actually touch it is amazing.
