The Spiral Jetty


In case you haven't heard, Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970) located on the Great Salt Lake, is threatened by oil exploration. You can visit the Dia Foundation to learn more about this amazing piece of earth art and the potential threat to its existence. They also provide access to a template-letter that can be sent to the State of Utah to express your concern. I hope the oil companies can be flexible and join us in "adapting to various environments easily" and work to reduce their impact on this historic work.
