News & Observer: Artists work molten magic in Durham Central Park

“It’s not every public art event that comes with its own hose and fire extinguisher.

But Durham’s public iron pour Friday night wasn’t an ordinary public art event, as hundreds gathered in Durham Central Park to watch a Kevlar-coated, safety-goggled militia turn solid metal into liquid.

And while they weren’t forging swords or that tricked-out chair from “Games of Thrones,” it was still otherwordly.

Or in a word: primal.”
