As long as it has been known as a world-class music festival, Coachella has also been dedicated to the installation of artwork at the scale of architecture. In 2019, artists and architects including Francis Kéré, Peggy Noland and Dedo Vabo boasted impressive works during the festival. It was Colossal Cacti, the project by Office Kovacs, that skillfully referenced both the desert landscape of Indio Valley and the postmodern tradition of the architect’s Los Angeles home base.
