This is a short clip from the video Smithson made about the Spiral Jetty, an example of how multimedia plays in chronicling and making a work of art public. Not many people will ever make it to the Spiral Jetty in person, but the public is free to view photographs or videos of it from some venue. Caution: the video may cause some vertigo.
Next lecture we are discussing conceptual art and installation art in museums. I highly recommend Dan Steinhilber's exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art for an intriguing, fun and contemporary example of installation art.
