Lines in the Sand

Palm Springs Art Museum
September 8, 2018 – August 9, 2019
Co-curated with Christine Giles 

Lines in the Sand explores the history of the desert through our relationship to the land, environment, and community. Drawn from the permanent collection, this exhibition highlights the museum’s founding collections of historical Indigenous art, depictions of the California desert, and contemporary art inspired by the physical and cultural environment of the state. Focusing on the practices of artists, Lines in the Sand  juxtaposes the historical with the contemporary, revealing continued affinities and shared perspectives across time.
