ROUTE 05

Desert to Warehouse.

Three days in the Black Rock Desert, then a long flight east, then forty-eight hours in a Brooklyn warehouse and a Hudson iron foundry. The same energy, two different rooms.

Burning Man is the Western world's largest non-permanent venue. For one week a year the Black Rock Desert in Nevada hosts a temporary sound system the size of a small city. The week ends, the city is dismantled, and the desert is dust again. This route follows the energy east. Burning Man week-one, then a re-entry to architecture in New York: Basilica Hudson's 1880s iron foundry on the river, Elsewhere's three-room Bushwick warehouse, the Village Vanguard's basement triangle. From the largest non-permanent venue to the smallest permanent jazz cellar in ten days.
