The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is famous for augmenting the music with an ambitious program of art installations by international artists, designers and collectives.
The newly-commissioned, sculptural works by Kumkum Fernando, Vincent Leroy, Güvenç Özel, and Maggie West lend color, light and alternate perspectives to the charged atmosphere and act as fresh, colorful and architectural beacons that transform the iconic Coachella site throughout the day and night.
From totemic figures that rise across the expanse of the Empire Polo Field to playful, floating mobiles and photographic-based installations and digital interventions, the massive installations by a selected roster of creative talent complement structures like Spectra, the seven-floor architecturally-inspired pavilion, Robert Bose’s quarter-mile long kinetic Balloon Chain, and Don Kennell’s Mustang.
