Day 52 - Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum

The road out from our digs.

WEWCLLOM, like the sign says. And don't park here. WEWCLLOM.

The roller skate in the middle of 'tings.

Oh honey, come quick - the washing machine is overflowing again.

I just learned that Noah Purifoy started his Found Objects practice with debris from the 1965 Watts Riots in LA. He subsequently co-founded the Watts Towers Art Center.

Shall we dance?

Have things changed?

Reminds me of one of my offices during the time I helped build the abomination some people call "the internet".

This is what "the internet" should look like.

Are we on track?

One of the theaters. Tough audience.

A lot of racquet.

Just like being on Mykonos. Maybe better.

Today I am amazed at how hard I am working to make these photos. It's like Noah is here - and challenging me to see all the little nuances - all the references he used to create these pieces - perspectives - and so many details. Thank you Noah.

Down the main drag in Mykonos, yet another bar.

A surreal creature is eyeing me up.

The Emergency Shelter.

Details, details.

All the pieces were hung - from no ceiling with care ....

This installlation has been rebuilt a few times. This rebuild is much more faithful to the original than the last time we saw it.

Let's just through a little pure abstraction into the mix ..... Why not??

Typographies.

A few kilometers away from Purifoy's is Daniel Popper's "Transmission", complete with tourists jostling for selfies. We just discovered this ourselves.

Untouchable.

Holding everything in. Feel the force!

Meanwhile - back in the Valley.
