QUIRKY, NOT SO QUIRKY

March 14, 2020

I like to find quirky, unusual places wherever we go. Found a couple places we hadn't been to, so decided to take a day trip to investigate them.  One was great, the other one we thought of as more junk, but art is in the eye of the beholder. Both of our eyes thought it was more junk than art. 

The GLASS OUTHOUSE

Yes, there is an actual working glass outhouse.  The whole museum covered 5 acres of yard art. It was quirky and fun

This is the outhouse. You can't see in, but you can see out. This is the actual bathroom for  the museum.

No explanation necessary

This is what happens when you work out too much

This little cafe was about 2' tall

This little chapel has been rented out for many weddings

Think this pirate is looking for water but none around

This little frog is just trying to shield himself from the sun

NOT SO QUIRKY

We also went to the Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum of Assemblage Sculpture. Noah Purifoy was a famous African American  artist born in Alabama in 1917. He is most famous for his collage named 66 Signs of Neon, made out of the rements   of the 1966 Watts Rebellion. In 1989 he moved to Joshua  Tree in California until his death in 2004. I'm sure there are alot of people that consider this art, but we couldn't see it. What do you think?

This is the only one that gave me pause. So true of his upbringing in the south. I lived in the south in 1965/1966 and this is what it was like. You can't read the signs above the fountains and toilet, but, above the fountain it says WHITES, above the toilet it says COLORED. That is how the south felt in those days, some even still
