Noah Purifoy's Outdoor Desert Art Museum
Noah Purifoy's Outdoor Desert Art Museum consists of 7.5 acres of open land displaying Purifoy's assemblage sculptures, created between 1989 and 2004. The works themselves are great - as is the decay due to the harsh elements of their desert setting. Resisting the ideologies of institutionalized art, Purifoy proposed to find out what role nature could play in the history of an art piece, arguing that "changes are an integral part of life itself."

can't a farming college get an art break?

Construction of Eli Broad's new museum in Michigan pushed back

I didn't know that MSU's art program could tell the difference between a tube of paint and a beer can? (just a little Michigan college humor, kids)

Broad went to MSU for undergrad; I did not know that, seeing as his name is plastered everywhere here in LA. Can't MI suck a little more arts money from him? Come on MI, put on a little more lipstick and hike that skirt up, now that the State ain't taking you out for corndogs anymore.
