HDTS 2011 was held this past weekend October 15 & 16 in the Morongo Valley towns of Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, Yucca Valley, 29 Palms and Wonder Valley. This year’s event was guest curated by the McCarthy family (Paul, Karen, Mara, Damon), Robert Stone and Brooks Hudson Thomas, and co-directed by Andrea Zittel and Aurora Tang. Spread amongst eight separate venues, the event featured site-specific installations, performances and exhibitions. A few of the pieces were large scale productions, others a bit more makeshift. Still, the main attraction was the desert itself.
