Smithson, Spiral Jetty
[music playing] Voiceover : We're looking at a work by Robert Smithson, and it dates to 1970, and it's called "The Spiral Jetty."발음듣기
It must have been taken from a helicopter, and it's what you call a work of environmental art or land art.발음듣기
It's essentially a bunch of dirt and rubble that has been pushed out into the spiral form into a lake, into this salt lake in Utah.발음듣기
We call it site specific. One of the things that Smithson wanted to emphasize was a kind of a distinction between, you know, the site of the work of art,발음듣기
and the traditional site of the work, which would be a gallery or a museum or private home and kind of breaking down barriers, saying, is a work of art only to be contained by museum or can we also find it elsewhere?발음듣기
And so he is part of a larger movement of artists who are specifically locating or situating their work in the land, and oftentimes the works have these very, very large proportions.발음듣기
So sometimes it is submerged. So this photograph shows that there are some people out on the jetty.발음듣기
Sometimes it's lower or higher. It depends on the depth of the water in Utah at the time, and it's very a salty lake.발음듣기
So it's a work that really is certainly part of the environment, but also interacts and changes the environment in important ways.발음듣기
So you could also maybe categorize it under the category of process art because it is something that is forever changing.발음듣기
You know, he had one idea of it, but then there are things that act upon it and will change it for, you know, for as long as it is there.발음듣기
He is interested in some ancient examples of prehistoric land art, mounds that have been found in America and elsewhere, and it is sort of inspired by that somewhat abstract quality of a lot of those.발음듣기
When you are in it of course, you are only experiencing it, and it is a very, very different way of seeing partial aspects of it.발음듣기
It makes it fun. Voiceover : Yeah, and he had to use a lot of construction tools, massive trucks to drive the rubble down and also to employ a lot of people.발음듣기
So it really destabilizes our idea that the artist is an individual, a single person who is the mastermind.발음듣기
