Four installations from this year’s Desert X exhibition in the Coachella Valley have been extended and will remain on view into the coming months, organizers announced Friday.
The fifth edition of Desert X, curated by artistic director Neville Wakefield and co-curator Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, originally ran from March 8 through May 11 and featured works by artists from around the world.
Desert X is a contemporary art exhibition that takes place every two years in the Coachella Valley, including cities such as Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs and Rancho Mirage. It features large-scale, site-specific installations by international artists.
The installations that were extended are:

Desert X encourages visitors to follow the Leave No Trace guidelines by planning ahead, walking on designated paths, disposing of waste properly, respecting wildlife, not smoking and being considerate of other visitors.
Sunnylands Center and Gardens hours are from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
