Bailey Anderson: Co-organizer of the Desert Biennial Project, now excerpted at the Holland Project

Desert Biennial Project

The Desert Biennial Project was a pop-up art installation featuring 107 Nevada artists, held on Apex Dry Lake, about 20 miles north of Las Vegas.

Co-organizer Bailey Anderson describes the project as a temporary outdoor exhibit that drew around 400 visitors.

Project Overview

The project took place between two solar fields in the Apex dry lakebed, surrounded by mountains, providing a unique "blank canvas" for the artists.

The work had a great conversation with the sky and the power lines on Interstate 15.

A selection of the project is now on view at the Holland Project in Reno, through November 29.

Author's summary: Desert Biennial Project showcases Nevada artists' interpretations of "gravity" in a unique outdoor setting.
