If you were downtown Sioux Falls on Sunday you might have smelled something burning. It was actually burning bread and it was no accident.

Ten ovens outside the Washington Pavilion were used to burn baugettes for an upcoming art installation.

Lishan Chang, an artist from Taiwan, plans to use the charred bread to create a one of a kind work of art on the south wall of the Everist gallery in the pavilion.

Chang pulled off a similar sculpture in new york four years ago and says the entire project is time consuming.

"In 2004 I had an installation in Queens Museum," Lishan Chang says. "I burned 2,000 pieces of bread. It takes about one month."

Chang's bread exhibition will be on display from May 30th to September 7th.

Interesting use of bread, considering the number of hungry and/or homeless people in our community.
