Arts and Culture
"Cool art installation in the middle of the desert. If Sun Ra returns anywhere on Earth, it will surely be here in the desert where Noah Purifoy has created an epitaph for our civilization. Wander at your own pace and create your own mythology, but if you get the chance, take the tour with Sue Welsh, a friend and colleague of Mr Purifoy's from their days working in Watts back in the early 60's.
