Earth, sky, air, water and fire are invoked in the fullness of their spiritual dimension. Under the museum's painted ceilings, the first ensemble welcomes visitors in a farandole of suspended bodies painted in a clouded sky camouflage, underlining the ephemeral melding of air and water. A second ensemble is composed of seated sculptures of dancers at rest made from a blend of wax and earth collected from seven continents. The centerpiece artwork titled burn to shine, is a film installation presented in a monumental charred wood cylinder. The artwork depicts bodies coming together throughout movement, with dancers and musicians gathered around a fire in the desert from sunset to sunrise. In echo with John Giorno's poem titled You Got To Burn To Shine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis catalogue is a unique document of the dialogue between Rondinone's works confronted with the museum's architecture and its collections.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664677867556,"sku":"9783775756426","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783775756426.jpg?v=1777360542","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/ugo-rondinone-bilingual-edition-2","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
