letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">When I started visiting the Salton Sea in the early 2000s, I was struck by the eerie silence that pervaded the place. The resort towns along the shore were largely abandoned\u2014the shops and restaurants boarded up, the marinas empty, the trailer parks vacant and untended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">Bombay Beach, a small town laid out on a mile-wide grid on the eastern shore, epitomized the desolation. A succession of tropical storms had hit the area in the late 1970s and dumped so much rain into the Salton Sea that the water level rose by several feet. When the floodwaters came to Bombay Beach, most of the residents vanished.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">As I wandered the empty streets, I was captivated by the abandoned possessions in the driveways and front yards: sun-bleached surf boards, faded toys, tattered paperbacks and magazines. Many of them were in situ, as if their owners had abruptly decided to leave one day and never returned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">Though Bombay Beach was mostly quiet and deserted, it seemed to attract a steady stream of visitors. Artists, photographers, filmmakers and designers seemed especially drawn to the place. On nearly every visit, I would encounter a crew making a music video or setting up a fashion shoot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">I later learned that some artists had started buying up tax-defaulted Bombay Beach properties and transforming them into makeshift artist studios, performance spaces, and conceptual art installations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5e3kja-101-db2ce3a5e7739b54d592ee5e7123464b\">\n.flex_column.av-5e3kja-101-db2ce3a5e7739b54d592ee5e7123464b{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-5e3kja-101-db2ce3a5e7739b54d592ee5e7123464b av_one_half  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lsmrmaaq-4db75cab7dc74e619ff35d665d6bfae6\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lsmrmaaq-4db75cab7dc74e619ff35d665d6bfae6 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lsmrmaaq-4db75cab7dc74e619ff35d665d6bfae6 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">The deserts of southern California are home to many renegade artist colonies. In nearby Slab City, the late folk artist Leonard Knight created a now-famous installation called Salvation Mountain\u2014a monument to divine love and forgiveness\u2014using strawbales and thousands of gallons of bright colored paint. Up the road from Salvation Mountain is East Jesus, a mecca of junk art made at the site of an old dump.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">It seemed fitting that Bombay Beach would take its place among these artist communities. Nothing fires up the creative imagination quite like a post-apocalyptic wasteland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">In 2016, three friends and part-time residents of Bombay Beach mounted a three-day gathering to celebrate art, music and ideas as well as to spotlight the environmental crisis playing out at the Salton Sea. With a twist of irony, they called it the Bombay Beach Biennale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">It was the first of what has since become an annual gathering\u2014one that has generated buzz in the art world and made headlines in major newspapers and magazines. It&#8217;s been called a bohemian dream, a pageantry of art and opera and weirdness, and the &#8220;anti-Burning Man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Proxima-nova, lato, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; font-weight: 300; color: #33333; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 24px;\">I&#8217;ve been covering the event for several years, my images appearing in the\u00a0<em>San Francisco Chronicle<\/em>, the\u00a0<em>Los Angeles Times<\/em>, the\u00a0<em>Houston Chronicle<\/em>, and other publications.
