Bask in the Glow of a New Exhibit
The New York Times art critic Roberta Smith once reviewed his work as being like a “collaboration between the creators of Spider Man, the set designers for 2001: A Space Odyssey, and maybe Star Trek, and the computer artists involved with Tron.” Now, the high-tech world of Stephen Hendee is coming to the High Desert Museum.
Immerse yourself in a futuristic world of light and sound in the new exhibit Lair: Light and the Art of Stephen Hendee. He creates a glowing world that explores the spaces in which we live.
