Outside of Moapa Valley, Nevada, about an hour and a half from Las Vegas, is a piece of land art known as Double Negative. This strange art piece sits atop Mormon Mesa and was created in 1969 by the artist Michael Heizer.
Art is subjective, and Double Negative probably tests the limit of what is art. It consists of a trench dug into the earth, that is 30 feet wide, 50 feet deep, and 1500 feet long. The trench is on both sides of a natural canyon.
The art is said to take advantage of "negative space" and is currently owned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
While crossing the Nevada desert to get to Double Negative, we also encounter several other instances of desert art, and some amazing views from the top of Mormon Mesa, which are worth the drive alone.
