Do they assemble everything there? If so, do they arrive early to start building it, or do you get to watch it progress?

Most of the art is obvioulsy pre-fabricated and some of it takes a year or more to create. Some of the larger installations find permenant homes (as did the Temple of Gravity from 2003 which now resides on private land near Palm Springs).
However, if you are there for the entire week (the only way to do BM imo) then you do get to see a lot of the art being assembled, placed, built, and some of it eventually destroyed either intentionally or by exposure to the elements.
