Lost in Palm Springs, a national touring exhibition that brings together the creative minds of 14 internationally recognised artists, photographers and thinkers from America and Australia.

Curated by award-winning Australian writer and conceptual artist, Dr Greer Honeywill, Lost in Palm Springs is a multidisciplinary exhibition that explores the magical qualities of the landscape and the celebrated mid-century modern architecture found in the desert city of Palm Springs, California.

The exhibition features works that respond to, capture, or reimagine the unique characteristics of the city, its surroundings, and its Bauhaus sensibilities. Lost in Palm Springs is a must-see exhibition for anyone interested in mid-century modern architecture and its influence on contemporary culture.

Lost in Palm Springs is not only visually stunning, but it also showcases the rich history and connections between Palm Springs and Australia, and the importance of mid-century modern architecture. We believe that this exhibition will capture the imagination of visitors and we encourage everyone to come and experience it.” — Tracy Cooper-Lavery, Director, Gallery and Visual Arts at HOTA.
