Book: Abandoned Nevada by Susan Tatterson

“A century of abandonment under the blazing desert sun [has] created a desolate scene more realistic than could be imagined or replicated in a Hollywood studio.” So Susan Tatterson describes the ghost town of Rhyolite, but that phrase could also speak of the many Nevada towns photographed and described in this book. Through breezily written historical accounts and a wealth of naturally sepia-toned images, Tatterson offers a fun accounting of our state’s love affair with the silver and gold ore, and the broken-down places left in its wake. $25,

Music: Julien Baker: Little Oblivions

Listening to Julien Baker’s third album, one feels the 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter has experienced three lifetimes of hard living. And in a way she has, chronicling in her intimate songwriting growing up gay, Christian and hardcore in the South, and dealing with drug addiction as a teen. Oblivions mines the murky waters of substance abuse and wrecked relationships, with Baker taking all that messiness and turning it into art (with a little help from her friends and boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus). –Genevie Durano

Exhibit: Aaron Cowan: (Play)Ground Zero

An archery target made of roses. Baseball mitts that have been repurposed into mini AstroTurf gardens. A tent with cheery rainbow-painted camo. These are just a few of the stereotype-defying sculptures in artist Aaron Cowan’s midway MFA exhibition at UNLV, (Play)Ground Zero. “I’d like viewers to consider … their own experiences with masculinity,” Cowan says. “I’d like to inspire an ethical manhood, not based on violence, strength or domination.” His videos and sculptures offer playful yet thoughtful alternatives to the world as we know it. Through April 2, UNLV’s Grant Hall Gallery, free, RSVP at bit.ly/3ffyltm. –C. Moon Reed
