Life Cube Ready to Blaze This Saturday
Life Cube is an art installation in Downtown Las Vegas.
Most art installations stick around for awhile. This one is designed to go up in flames along with your hopes and dreams–but in a good way.
From their website:
The Life Cube is a community art installation which provides an engaging and interactive place for the shared expression of ambitions, dreams, goals, and wishes. The project encourages participants to look at their past, engage in the present, and set goals for the future. It is based on the artist’s belief that if you write down what you want to accomplish in life, the chances of attaining it are much, much higher!
Anyone can go to the installation, write down their hopes and dreams and leave them there to be burned in the Life Cube’s culmination. The culmination, known as the “Life Cube Burn” is when the 30-foot by 30-foot structure is set ablaze. Our photographer-extraordinaire Greg C stopped by and sent us some pics:
Greg C isn’t a man of many words, but when we can quote him, we do. Here’s what Greg C had to say…
“This is all going on in an open parking lot down on Fremont East. Anybody and everybody can come down and paint on the cube. Next Saturday it goes up in a giant bonfire. I hope to capture that!”
Life Cube’s origins can be traced to artist Scott Cohen at Burning Man in 2011. The project has grown in size, and locations, since then.
Here’s a sizzle-clip of the Life Cube Project from 2014 which helps to explain the project a little more in-depth:
The Life Cube Burn happens this Saturday, April 2nd starting at 8 pm.
Location: the Llama Lot, near the intersection of Ninth and Fremont streets.
