On 7.5 acres of open land, the museum displays Purifoy’s assemblage sculptures, created between 1989 and 2004. The works themselves are great-as is the decay due to the harsh elements of their desert setting. Resisting the ideologies of institutionalized art, Purifoy proposed to find out what role nature could play in the history of an art piece, arguing that “changes are an integral part of life itself.”

On a barren hillside in the Yucca Valley, the slowly decaying Desert Christ Park has attracted pilgrims and kitsch hunters for over 50 years. It was the concept of then local pastor Reverend Eddie Garver who visualized creating the faith-based attraction as a light and symbol for world peace. The site contains more than 35 statues from plaster, steel and concrete, including a 3-story, 125-ton bas-relief of The Last Supper. The earthquake in 1971 in nearby Landers knocked off some hands and feet.

Everything Else
Looks like an old ghost town with a real honkytonk, Pappy & Harriet’s. The saloons, trading posts, and other frontier storefronts were used as backdrops in a number of early Western serials from The Cisco Kid to Judge Roy Bean. Given the swift and prolific production schedules of the televised adventures the set was soon expanded to accommodate real residences where the actors could live while their very houses made up the sets.

Shopping
In Yucca Valley, this swap meet is a world of its own, a dense shanty-like town of booths and stands packed with curios, desert junk, overgrown cactus gardens, and bright green Palo Verde trees. The former drive-in loud speakers broadcast a soundtrack of country music, periodically punctuated by announcements that someone's burritos or French fries are ready for pickup at the cafe. In the heart of the swap meet is the Crystal Cave - a masterpiece in progress by Bob Carr, owner and creator of Sky Village Swap Meet. In 2008, two Danish art and curatorial students, Merete Vyff Slyngborg and Mette Woller worked with Bob Carr to restore the cave.
