Peter K and Pose2 of Albus Cavus participated in creation of sculpture titled “Bummer” by Myk Henry, an Irish artist living in New York. A crew of 12 people flew in from around the world and built this colossal art work from scratch out in the desert for Burning Man: Erik Hokenson (USA), Ciaran Rafferty (Ireland), Vahakn Matossian (England), José García Huidobro (Argentina), Vlad Marinkovic (Serbia), Brian Foote (USA), Clementine Hanbury (England), Jean Lee (Canada), Anna Settharath (USA), Carolyn Bedford (USA), Clay Bedford (USA). The piece was built and exhibited as a part of Burning Man 2008. The theme of the festival was “American Dream”. To see more, please visit Current TV.
