Скачать или смотреть Chris Burden Big Wheel Start Up at the NEW MUSEUM

Chris Burden burst onto the international art scene in the early 1970s with a series of outlandish performances that pushed the boundaries of endurance, pain tolerance, legality and altered the course of American art. With "Extreme Measures" the artist marks the return after a nearly twenty year absence from the New York art scene. One of Burden's most iconic pieces, "Big Wheel" is composed of a three-ton eight foot diameter cast iron flywheel that is set in motion by a 1968 Benelli 250cc motorcycle. This program features a description and activation of this piece, at the press preview that occurred October 1, 2013 at the New Museum. A full video tour on "Extreme Measures" will appear at the "James Kalm Report".
