Coachella 2017: This 50-foot-tall treehouse aims to bridge the class divide

Like an elevated treehouse village that offers shade and a gathering spot to viewers underneath, artist Olalekan Jeyifous’s  “Crown Ether” serves as a spot for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival attendees to meet and rest. That personal connection delights Jeyifous.
At 50 feet tall, it’s the biggest piece the Nigerian-born, Brooklyn-based artist, 39, has ever done, but it’s based on his previous architectural collages, he said by phone Saturday, April 15.
