THE SHOW
To mark the Guggenheim Museum’s tenth anniversary and the inauguration of the new identity given to La Salve bridge, through the work “Arcos Rojos” by French artist Daniel Buren, the Museum wished to offer the general public a pyrotechnical music show.
Frank Gehry used titanium for the first time in the history of contemporary architecture in the design of the Museum.
To celebrate its tenth anniversary, the Museum acquired a masterpiece by Daniel Buren.
On this occasion, Les Petits Français designed a pyrotechnical show based upon an original soundtrack linking the chromatic characteristics of both works.
The seven-minute long “fire” relies on the moving city beat as it straddles the River Nervión.
Among the pyrotechnical product range used, a pure white (titanium) launches the show, which ends with warm red shades referring to the new work inaugurated on that day.
