Our perambulations yesterday took us to Pier 14 and the party to celebrate the newest “temporary public art” installation, sponsored by Black Rock Arts Foundation. Gavin stopped by. The crowd included Burners in costume, or perhaps that’s the way they always dress.

It was hilarious last year: Big whoop over the performance, thousands crowded round, lights, smoke, soundtrack, video, fireworks, flame, more smoke, music, spoken word, on and on … and afterwards, large numbers of a certain type of person were disappointed because they thought it was actually going to fly.
