Collaboratively Determined Telluric Sites
CDTS (Catherine Davis, Jennifer Reifsneider, Nancy Voegeli-Curran, and Matthew Winkler) will distribute limited edition mapbooks to HDTS travelers. These mapbooks reflect and transform raw data gathered during a group scouting expedition in June 2013. During the trip, the group followed plans, became lost in unexpected terrain, and discovered alternative territories for making meaning.
The mapbooks allow CDTS to share their experiences and create new understandings of the greater HDTS community. They invite fellow travelers to enter their collaborative loop via postage paid cards included in each mapbook. After the October event, this feedback will be incorporated into a broader view of the CDTS universe.

High Desert Test Sites hits the road for a full week of experimental art and exploration, from Joshua Tree to Albuquerque!
HDTS 2013, the ninth program in a series of free ranging and ever evolving contemporary art events, expands our range and depth to take in everything from Joshua Tree, California to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Roughly 60 new projects will take place over an entire week, during which artists and audience alike will traverse over 700 miles of desert roads to check out the new work and explore the hidden gems and diverse desert communities along this spectacular stretch of the Southwest.
Project sites include: Amboy Crater, Arcosanti, Area 66 (Yucca), Art Queen (Joshua Tree), Bluewater Lake State Park, El Malpais National Monument, El Rancho Hotel (Gallup), Giant Rock (Landers), Hill Top Motel (Kingman), Magdalena Ridge Observatory (Socorro), Mill Restaurant (Crown King), Montessa Park (Albuquerque), Palms Restaurant and Saloon (Wonder Valley), Petrified Forest National Park, Octopus Car Wash (Albuquerque), Pink Post Office Projects (Wonder Valley), Tamarind Institute (Albuquerque), Warehouse 1-10 (Magdalena), in addition to our regular HDTS sites.
The week’s festivities include a Saturday night opening dinner (first-come-first-served) at The Palms in Wonder Valley October 12, with musical performances by The Sibleys and The Renderers.
A zine-style publication, designed by Brad Hudson Thomas, with original texts by James Trainor and Eden Solas, will accompany the event.
