Twentynine Palms Installation: Numeric Easing on the Delinquencies in the High Desert of Southern California

Twentynine Palms Installation or Ubiquitous Nicknames: Numeric Easing on the Delinquencies in the High Desert of Southern California by LG Williams Twentynine Palms Installation aka Ubiquitous Nicknames (2012), by the American artist LG Williams / The Estate Of LG Williams™, is a work of Neo-Liberal Austerity Art situated in a remote area of the high desert of Southern California. The High Desert is an unofficial and vaguely defined geographic area of southern California located to the northeast of the San Gabriel Mountains. The project's epicenter is the city of Twentynine Palms, California, an enclave of roughly 59 square miles. To date, the artwork is comprised of 40 delinquent architectural structures with numbers spray-painted on their facade. There are plans to expand the project, pending funding reviews. The sculptures are meant to be seen on foot, as well as from an automobile. Still, a full experience of Ubiquitous Nicknames does not depend upon the occurrence of visiting since visitors are encouraged to spend as much time as possible viewing the site photographs on the internet. Ubiquitous Nicknames is intended to be experienced over an extended period of time-or until the end of the Age of Austerity. In order to provide this opportunity, The Estate Of LG Williams offers a comprehensive project resource online. Commissioned and maintained by The Estate Of LG Williams™, Ubiquitous Nicknames will be recognized internationally as one of the 21st century's most significant works of Neo-Liberal Austerity Art and exemplifies The Estate Of LG Williams™ commitment to support art projects whose nature and scale exceed the limits of what is usually available within the traditional museum or gallery system.
