Sunday at the Palm Springs Art Museum

Palm Springs has a great art museum that I enjoy when I am in town visiting friends, Tom and Penny.  The special exhibit that was great fun is called Antibodies, The Works of Fernando and Humberto Campana, 1989-2009.  They are two creative brothers from Brazil that make interesting furniture and art pieces.  They are made of a variety of materials including bubble wrap, garden hoses, scraps of material, metals,  and sticks of various sizes.
















Inspired perhaps by the Campana Brothers, students from a local school entered a "Chair Challenge" and came up with inspiring works of their own.










I then roamed downstairs and out into the museum's sculpture garden to enjoy the works of Dale Chihuly, the glass blower whose gifts I have enjoyed at the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix a few years ago.  These works include "Red Reed Installation," 1997 and "End of the Day #2," 1996.






Yes, there is much more in the two outdoor sculpture....don't miss them when you are in P.S.
