Description
When dynamite is aged the wrong way it gets sweaty with little crystals that can cause spontaneous explosions.Dave X. Man of fire, bacon, and “the ponytail of approachability.” An enigmatic shaman of fireworks, flame effects, and deep thoughts, his stripper name is Sweaty Dynamite. His spiritual calling is to bring joyful, fiery experiences to the masses. His secret weapon: a thick binder. Huh? More on that later. Could one man be a hippie and a redneck, and in charge of Fire Art Safety in Black Rock City, and also fill the role of Cake Marshal for Burning Man Project? Yes, yes he could. A pyrotechnician, a peaceful perturber, and a Burner from days of yore, he bestows his teachings upon Stuart Mangrum. Pro tip: Each of our episodes ends with a bang, especially this one.

Art on Fire: To Build, Film and Burn in Black Rock City: Stuart talks about Burning Man art, making art, and making art about the art, with Jennifer Raiser, author of the book “Art on Fire,” Sophia Swire, producer of the new film of the same name, and Andrew Johnstone, one of the artists profiled in the film. Burning Man art has become a movement in the mainstream art world and in popular culture, and spawning museum shows, books, and films. In what ways does this radically participatory, highly interactive form of expression translate from its desert home to these more traditional channels? https://www.kindling.burningman.org/art-on-fire by Burning Man LIVE
