Produced by The Desert Biennial—a not-for-profit organization based in California—Desert X is in its fourth iteration. Occupying the landscape of Coachella Valley, the festival invites 12 international artists to produce large-scale works which address the changes that give form to a world shaped by climate disaster and globalization.
There is no limit to what type of materials artists may use for their works in Desert X. This year's large-scale installations include a pile-up of train cars, a piece conceptualized by American artist Matt Johnson, and a circular floor installation that "references local Indigenous basket weaving patterns" by Gerald Clarke who works on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Other artists including New York-based Torkwase Dyson, Mexican artist Mario García Torres, and others participated, as well.
The sculptures at Desert X integrate themselves well into the desert landscape.
Large-Scale Sculpture Exhibitions
Desert X Invites 12 International Designers to Participate
Trend Themes
1. Large-scale Sculpture Installations - The use of unconventional materials and expression creates new opportunities for artists and urban designers alike.
2. Sustainable Art Exhibitions - Increasing the use of sustainable materials in art creations can lead to a new market of eco-artists and buyers.
3. Indigenous Art-based Installations - Unpacking the cultural and social history of art can take new forms, with artists of Indigenous background, to create sustainable pieces they can be proud of.
Industry Implications
1. Art Exhibitions - Creating large-scale sculptures using unconventional materials highlights how traditional art can be made unique to the times and audience.
2. Sustainability - Eco-friendly art can be created and marketed for its environmental impact rather than solely for aesthetic value.
3. Urban Design - Large-scale sculptures can be integrated into public spaces to create urban interventions and transform cities through art installations.
