Wanna get away... to avoid the coming snowstorm in Denver? You may want to check out the last weekend for Desert X in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, California. The outdoor exhibit is presented by Desert Biennial. This year brings 16 artists to the valley to create art, engage viewers, and focus on the valley's environment, its natural wonders, as well as socio-political-economic issues. Shown above is Jennifer Bolande's Visible Distance/ Second Sight. It is a series of billboards along the Gene Autry Trail and Vista Chino, featuring images of the space they inhabit and from certain vantage points align with perfectly. Her intent is to remind viewers/drivers to "contemplate their surroundings and consider the differences between the real and artificial horizons." To learn more click: www.desertx.org/visit/
