Architecture and ArtArne Quinze: UchroniaUchronia was born in one of the numerous pubs inBrussels – as a sketch on a napkin. With theirinstallation, the project‘s two conceptual founders,designer Arne Quinze and philosopher Jan Kriekel,wanted to communicate a message to the world:Rationality and emotion, the left and right halves ofthe brain, are inextricably linked.In Greek "Uchronia" means "no time" and thus thetemporal counterpart to utopia – "no place". As the ideallocation for their "timeless" installation the two designerschose the annual art festival "Burning Man" in theBlack Rock Desert of Nevada. The festival is held foreight days and reaches its pinnacle on the sixth, whena gigantic statue – the "Burning Man" – is ignited. Everyyear, approximately 47,000 people journey to the saltflats 150 kilometres northeast of Reno.Without a doubt, Uchronia was the highlight of"Burning Man" 2006. Ninety assistants, paid by Quinzeand Kriekel themselves, worked on the construction.Within three weeks they had nailed together 160 kilometresof wooden laths into a large-scale sculpture. It tookon its form spontaneously on site, without the aid of anycomputer programs. Four entrances provided access to"Uchronia", whose delicate roof gave welcome shadein the desert. But the festival visitors were not able toenjoy shady relief for long: shortly after its completion,the installation was ceremoniously ignited. One of thebasic principles of the Burning Man Festival is to leaveno trace."Uchronia“, 2006Timber installationBlack Rock City, Nevada, USA32
