MORE DESERT MAGIC
Following the tradition of desert land art in the American West by notables such as Michael Heizer,
Nancy Holt, and Robert Smithson, a striking disruption to the desert horizon emerges nearly
thirty-five feet into the sky—the otherworldly Seven Magic Mountains, a colorful commentary on
the intersection of humans and nature. This site-specific spectacle by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone
is located outside of Jean, Nevada (population: 0), and was more than four years in the making.
Seven Magic Mountains is twenty-seven miles south of Las Vegas. The exhibition will be on view
from sunrise to sunset every day through May 2018. Produced by the Art Production Fund and Nevada
Museum of Art, Reno.
