IN BETWEEN // Robert Smithson’s work shares the life of the landscape of which it is a part. Among the wonderful works of Land Art, Robert Smithson stands out with his work Spiral Jetty, the result of an ecological art and bearer of a message of recycling and safeguarding the natural environment. He decided to consider the earth as a monument that carries with it the sense of the place from where it is taken. Dominated by the shapes of the circle and the spiral, the latter emblem of the entropic dispersion of energy, Smithson believed it was a key concept of contemporaneity, as well as of art. Spiral Jetty is one of the best known and most monumental works of Land Art. The work consists of a long strip of land, basalt rocks and salt crystals, which extends over the salt lake. The artist's intention is not to create a work that must keep its original shape forever, but to ensure that the work shares the life of the landscape of which it is a part. • #THEMOIRè #InBetween #THEMOIRèmeets
