Desert X Descends on Coachella Valley. Here Are 5 Awe-Inspiring Works
news.artnet.com: There is no museum that could contain art made on a truly monumental scale. It needs space to breathe. In turn, man-made architectural and artistic interventions have an almost paradoxical ability to articulate a landscape of already stunning natural beauty. It is these elements that make Desert X a much-anticipated staple of the art world calendar that always promises panoramas verging on the sublime. The 2025 edition is no different.

I love finding unique art pieces in the wild, specifically in places that aren’t frequented often (ie. not cities or university campuses). It always makes me feel like I have stumbled across something even more sacred and artistic. I believe I feel this way because the intention behind the art is less to be seen than to exist. It’s the same idea in my mind of, if a tree falls in the forest with no one around, does it make a sound? In terms of the installations this year, I really enjoy the pyramid. You can tell its placement was so intentional, with the green all around and its connectedness throughout the structure itself. With the reflection of it on the water, it doesn’t feel as though it’s in the middle of the desert even though it is and we associate pyramids with desert. My other favorite piece is The Lost Path, with all of the boat-like fabric. It reminds me of the river Lethe.
