trajectory at hdts


Trajectory by Brennan Conaway is now screening at High Desert Test Sites, open Saturdays from 11 to 4.  The project documents time spent as an artist-in-residence at Center for Land Use Interpretation in Utah in 2008.  From HDTS: The town is near wide-open salt flats and surrounded on two sides by vast weapons-testing areas.  Brennan thought this was a good place to perform his own weapons test with a level-action rifle, or 'repeating rifle' - often called 'The Gun that Won the West.'  Taking aim at the distant horizon, he fired a single bullet across the desert.  Then he went searching for it.
