BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada -- Two 18-wheeler oil rigs smash into each other at Burning Man to represent the precariousness and danger of the oil economy in a piece called Big Rig Jig.
But it's a surreal truck crash. One is nosed into the ground, its body curving in a C shape back and to the right. Its back end is smashed into the middle of another, dangling in the air with its cab facing down and its tanker curved up and to the left.
Mike Ross, a New York sculpture artist, and a rotating crew of four to 16 friends, many also from New York, built the piece in an Oakland, California, work space called American Steel, also used for many other large-scale projects.
