Out of sight, but not forgotten
After months of negotiations, the state of Utah and New York-based art foundation Dia struck an deal to protect and preserve the now-submerged Spiral Jetty and allow Dia to continue as the leaseholder on the state land under it. The best part is that Dia formed a collaborative oversight group, including Westminster College’s Great Salt Lake Institute and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, to guide the future of Robert Smithson’s iconic earth art piece. A public meeting is planned to get citizen input on the Spiral Jetty’s future.
