Anthony Bondi is a Las Vegas artist who works in collage, assemblage, and staged photography. For twenty years, he made large scale physically interactive sculptures for Burning Man, often exploring tactile immersion.

In 2014, Bondi was chosen as a local correspondent in Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, Las Vegas.

Bondi has recently written a fictionalized memoir named Flamingo Wash. It tells his family’s story entwined with the history of Las Vegas, and the high and low ideals of living in a nudist apartment complex two blocks from the Strip.

For many years, Vegas had a robust number of paper media publications that covered, among other topics, the development of the arts in Las Vegas. Most of these publications are long gone. Little of what was written then has been online. Bondi saved the paper articles. Now scanned and published, it is an archive of 850 articles about the subject,

Las Vegas Arts in Print Media 1990-2015, in 45 chapters.
