It reminds me of the "deep" conversations libral art students have where they asked if I had "really thought" about such and such. The Spiral Jetty is really cool. I'd never heard of it before and I also lived in SLC for several years. The fact that the artist knew if wouldn't be seen at times adds to the concept (I think).Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518520509442567590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17520917.post-1131381711823581902005-11-07T18:41:00.000+02:002005-11-07T18:41:00.000+02:00and that minor detail may not make a difference to...and that minor detail may not make a difference to most people. heheJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695511274839749248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17520917.post-1131381653110820372005-11-07T18:40:00.000+02:002005-11-07T18:40:00.000+02:00cage is a much better philosopher and writer than ...cage is a much better philosopher and writer than he ever was a composer (my humble opinion). but, i think you're missing the point of 4'33" when you use the term "silent." it isn't silent at all. there quite a lot of sound filling the hall while that piece is being performed. i didn't put <I>performed</I> facetiously in quotation marks because it is being performed.. just not by the guy sitting at the piano. it's being performed by the guy's stomach growling. or the program being rustled of the ramdom cough or occassional snicker. the squeaky chair. you get the point. it's not a questioning of the musical substance of silence, but of the musical substance of random sounds.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695511274839749248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17520917.post-1131380655707136982005-11-07T18:24:00.000+02:002005-11-07T18:24:00.000+02:00I think whatever people want to do is okay as long...I think whatever people want to do is okay as long as it doesn't injure other people. These examples are harmless. The music thing is kind of stupid though. That's what it would sound like if I tried to produce a musical piece and I don't go around calling myself a musician. I am interested to know how they separated it into three sections if there is no sound produced. I know you're busy, but I'm especially interested in your's and Matt's opinions on my portfolio now available on my blog.

So far as I know, Smithson knew that the Spiral would submerge and re-emerge repeatedly over time. That was part of the idea of the work, so I'm left wondering about that. What would happen if the level of the lake rose and nobody saw it for a generation or more? As I recall, it was a big deal when the water level went down recently, exposing the Jetty for the first time in several years. NPR and other news sources reported on it.Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919523046521696675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17520917.post-1131370343578343902005-11-07T15:32:00.000+02:002005-11-07T15:32:00.000+02:00Hmmm...as a complete art (and music) dunce, I'd sa...Hmmm...as a complete art (and music) dunce, I'd say that at least the <I>Spiral Jetty</I> actually exists. (And things that are only seen rarely are often considered more precious -- which is why people will freeze their butts off on a January night to see a comet because it won't come around again for another 200 years...even though they won't be able to distinguish that particular comet from any of the others that are scheduled to travel past the earth that year.)<BR/><BR/>I think the 4'3'' musical piece is bologna. Okay, there may be some people out there who think the piece is a very deep meditation on the noisy world and people's need for silence...yadda yadda.
