Occurring during the Oct 15 and 16 weekend, High Desert Test Sites returned for its 2011 edition in the communities that include Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, Wonder Valley, Yucca Valley, and 29 Palms in California. The destination event includes site-specific new experimental art, architecture, and design projects by such notables as Ball Nogues Studio, N. Dash, Sam Falls, Ephraim Puusemp, LeRoy Stevens, and Dawn Kasper. With its expansive outdoor setting, spread out locations, and sun-soaked warm weather, this event provides a unique escape from our usual viewing of art in the traditional urban gallery and museum setting. It provided a much-needed jolt to our thoughts of patronage, viewership, and experience.
