PALM SPRINGS, United States - Out in the California desert, nestled between billboards advertising hairline restoration and varicose vein removal, six hauntingly beautiful images of steel bridges and sunsets loom incongruously over the dusty highway.
Members of Mr Nichols’ family, who approved the installation only a few days ago, hope the artwork will spotlight a California draft Bill that would limit the power of police to stop drivers for minor infractions without specific cause. The late addition of Mr Nichols’ work to Desert X was motivated by “featuring Tyre as an artist, and showing his work, and having people engage with that emotionally,” festival founder Susan Davis said.More On This TopicFounded six years ago, Desert X invites artists from around the world to visit the Palm Springs region and create a new work to be installed in the Coachella Valley.
Also on display this year is “Sleeping Figure”, a haphazard-looking pile of discarded shipping containers that have been welded together to stick up out of the desert floor at improbable angles. “I started thinking about these containers as vessels of consumption” after the pandemic caused huge blockages in the global supply chain, said Johnson.
