Randy Polumbo

Joshua Tree, California and New York City, New York, United States

Randy Polumbo works between Joshua Tree and New York City, transforming repurposed structures into immersive environments of glass, reflection and light. His practice connects fabrication and engineering with ecological systems and the qualities of particular sites. Lodestar, dated 2018 and commissioned for Coachella, reworks a Lockheed Lodestar airframe into a climbable flower-like structure with steel supports, blown-glass forms and LEDs. Angel Queen, dated 2017, adapts a salvaged military airstrip control tower into a reflective interior populated by glass flowers and crystal-like planets. Love Stream, dated 2008, similarly turns a 1964 Airstream trailer into a walk-in, illuminated environment. The artist records earlier Love Stream presentations at the Bass Museum and Bunker Artspace; these historical presentations do not establish the work’s current location or availability.
