Incendiary Traces: Drawing the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center
Conceived by artist Hillary Mushkin, Incendiary Traces is a conceptually driven, community-generated art project that explores the political act of representing the Southern California landscape by creating a series of "draw-in" events in different locations across the region.
Incendiary Traces led a recent draw-in at the 29 Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center where participants used drawing as a tool for connecting the Southern California landscape to foreign battle zones.
Can picturing landscapes also be a political intervention? Incendiary Traces seeks to use the act of (re)picturing as a tool for connecting to remote sites of conflict; to bring "the there," here.
