As the Great Salt Lake continues to recede, the Spiral Jetty has unintentionally become a clear indicator of the change.
Smithson, Loe said, “wasn’t an out-and-out environmentalist. … It’s interesting because [Spiral Jetty] is a beacon for climate change, but that doesn’t mean Smithson anticipated that. He didn’t. None of us did.”
According to the Dia Art Foundation, which owns the Spiral Jetty, “Smithson envisioned an artwork in a state of constant transformation whose form is never fixed and undergoes decay from the moment of its creation.” Rather than looking at Spiral Jetty as an object, as one might point to a painting, Le Feuvre suggested the jetty be seen as a field of information. “I often say that art is not there to provide solutions — design provides solutions,” she said.
Art may not change the world, Le Feuvre said, but it can change perceptions — and doing that can, sometimes, make it possible to change the world.
