“High Desert Test Sites is a series of experimental art sites located along a stretch of desert communities including Pioneertown, Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and 29 Palms. These locations provide alternative, free space for experimental work by both emerging and established artists.

The HDTS mission is to challenge traditional conventions of ownership, property and patronage. Most projects will ultimately belong to no one, and they are intended to melt back into the landscape as new ones emerge.

The High Desert Test Sites is a project organized by Andrea Zittel, John Connelly and Andy Stillpass.”
