Piano for Pyros: video and photos of Carleton's "Piano Burning"

I was one of the hundreds of curious onlookers gathered on Carleton's Bald Spot last night to witness "Piano Burning," a 1968 performance art piece by artist and composer Annea Lockwood. The artist and a few faculty members also held a well-attended Q&A session beforehand to place the work in a more academic context than "hey, look...a burning piano!" I shot a bunch of photos and a few video clips, and you can find more coverage of the event on Locally Grown, MPR, Kare11, the StarTribune, and the PioneerPress.
