Mojave Desert

"One of my favorite spots is a place called The Palms in Wonder Valley. It's a little dive bar in the middle of nowhere. I would definitely go there for drinks or for dinner."

"Go down to Palm Springs; it’s very close. The Palm Springs Art Museum is really incredible. It's a beautiful building. They have a nice little permanent collection and a pretty solid temporary collection."

"I would definitely go to Noah Purifoy’s art museum, which is basically this giant outdoor art museum. There are sculptures that he made out of found materials, but it's really interesting because a lot of it comments on racism and segregation in the US, so it's an important place for the area."

"There's this organization, High Desert Test Sites, that's always putting on amazing art events, whether it be art shows or performances or workshops."

Aaron Glasson looks for beauty in every place he visits. It’s a lens that has put the artist in good stead throughout his globe-trotting career, starting from his native New Zealand to Japan, Sri Lanka, and around the US. His frequent trips abroad, combined with his upbringing in the open fields of Karaka in New Zealand’s north, have informed the themes of interconnection, community and ecology that pervade his multidisciplinary work.
