Sculptures, paintings and photographs, as well as experiences, mutant vehicles, and NFTs. It’s a collaboration and a collision. It’s an experiment with an institution historically known for overt commodification. It’s an appreciation of art based on intrinsic aesthetic value. It's a nod to artists. Stuart talks

The resilient burner community does disaster relief well.
