The second weekend of Coachella in Indio, California is brimming with energy, and the music isn’t the only thing that comes alive – art does too, with the desert serving as its backdrop. Curated by Public Art Company in partnership with Paul Clemente, longtime Goldenvoice Art Director, this year’s art program offers festival-goers tranquil moments, interactive play, and awe-inspiring surreal experiences as they navigate between stages.
For this year’s event, we have some beloved names back from Robert Bose, Do LaB, Don Kennell, Raices Cultura, and NEWSUBSTANCE gracing us again. In addition to their return, a new batch of installations has sprouted up. Let’s explore the recently commissioned pieces at this year’s festival.
Take Flight
London-based design studio Isabel + Helen unveiled a 60-foot kinetic sculpture inspired by 19th-century flying machines. Dozens of wind-powered turbines spin hypnotically as the desert breeze moves through the structure, celebrating the harmony between natural energy and the spirit of adventure. The piece expands on the studio’s energy-generating wearables, encouraging tactile and environmental interaction.
Taffy
Canadian designer Stephanie Lin presents a towering installation made up of seven cylindrical forms, the tallest reaching 50 feet. Clad in scalloped mesh and painted in tones inspired by midcentury desert modernism, the sculpture shifts with the sun’s movement, casting moiré patterns across the Empire Polo Club grounds. Beneath the colorful canopy, curved benches welcome visitors to sit beneath and move through the sculpture, encouraging a quiet connection with its blooming form.
Le Grand Bouquet
Parisian studio Uchronia channels the flower-power aesthetics of the 1960s and ’70s with Le Grand Bouquet, an inflatable ode to the local flora. The central 32-foot-tall bouquet anchors the installation, surrounded by six smaller clusters, each composed of three inflatable blooms. Referencing the desert’s seasonal wildflower displays, the work offers color, nostalgia, and a welcoming space for communal lounging beneath its petal-like shade.
