Hottest Art in the Mojave! from Randy Polumbo courtesy of Joshua Tree National Park, Park Stewardship Through the Arts, & 29 Palms Creative Center

Here is an invitation to my show in 29 Palms, California if you find yourself in the neighborhood. It is a really cool neighborhood. I am doing a residency in Joshua Tree National Park until month end at a magical but isolated former ranger station called “Lost Horse.” This is where last summer I discovered primitive glass and metal melting and casting techniques and made my first forays away from tiny electronic projects.


The piece in the announcement is made from a couple of old cans, and a glass gun I cast from a cap gun I found in the desert. It has solar panels and circuitry not unlike a jumbo jet, constantly reading sensors, and pivoting right and left, until it points at the brightest spot in the room. It is not fast, but it aside from shipping damage, it has not broken in a year of continuous duty!
