BLM to sell leases near earth-art project
Perhaps our Utah Division of Arts and Museums, which has the power to purchase (with the approval of the Utah Arts Council Board) and to add important Utah art works to the Utah State Alice Art Collection, could "buy" the tunnels from the BLM for a token amount of $1 and move them to another appropriately desolete state "facility" - a remote state owned parcel. The Governor's 2008 budget shows the Division with a budget of $6.7M. I assume the tunnels would work as currently aligned (to the compass points and with holes in the tubes to certain zenith constellations) if they are simply moved in latitude. Personally, I like the tunnels. http://ludb.clui.org/ex/i/UT3126/ - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net
Actually, the tunnels are on 40 acres owned by the artist, Nancy Holt. -- Joe
