Nauvoo Suite 11 Woodcuts on Paper. 22x30 inches. 2006

Description
In 1992 Varg Vikernes of the Black Metal group Burzum set fire to the Fantoft Stave Church in Bergen Norway. Vikernes documented his fires and used these photographs for the promotion of his band and as a tool to instigate others to follow in his footsteps. This triggered a spree of vandalism and arsons across Norway, Europe, and North America.

Referencing the title of Carl Christensen’s 1865 painting, The Burning of the Nauvoo Temple, these prints investigate the history of arson as a tool for rebellion, and the cyclical influence of music on youth violence, rebellion, and intimidation.
