This exhibit was a retrospective of art and artists who created work integral to the history of Burning Man. Six films made by Obsolete Pictures were an integral part of the massive and ornate Capitol Theater installation, an art deco movie palace on wheels, designed and built by our creative partners and collaborators, the Oakland, Ca. art collective Five Ton Crane.
