The CLUIs desert research
station was featured in the exhibit Post-Landscape:
Between Nature and Culture at the Pomona College of
Art, from September 4 to October 21, 2001. The exhibition
also included video, paintings, sculpture and photographs
by artists such as Kim Abeles, Sandow Birk, Laurie Brown,
and Skeet McAuley.
The CLUI furnished display panels
describing the desert environment of Southern California,
and the DRS. The museum assisted with coordinating volunteers
to keep the DRS open to the public during regular hours,
supporting its fall season, and handouts with a directional
map to the DRS were available as part of the display. As
with its inauguration at the Museum of Contemporary Art
last year, by partnering with other cultural organizations
in this manner, the DRS can continue to draw people out
of exhibits about the landscape, and into the greatest exhibit
of all, the landscape itself.
