Spiral Jetty Threatened

30Jan08

Via Artfagcity:

This just in via MAN: A new drilling contract in Utah threatens Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, an emergency email from the artist’s widow, Nancy Holt, informs journalists. A number of pipes and pumps will be laid beneath the water and shore, as well as roads built for oil tank trucks, and cranes for other development needs, all of which promise to severely alter the surrounding environment including Spiral Jetty.

By the way, “Spiral Jetty” belongs to DIA Foundation. Will they save it?
