"Floating Island" is beautiful, somewhat awkward, strangely poetic and very funny, like much of Smithson's work. He died in 1973 at 35, and has continued to have an enormous influence on generations of artists who followed him.

  • 240p you have come back to haunt me..

  • I'd like to throw the idea of you using this island to grow food for when the world ends. We are putting together a community and would like you to join.

  • wowww what a waste of time and resources

  • WOW, not. just arty farty rubbish. you may just as well put dirt in a barge and plont tress in it. Now the guy who made an island starting with used plastic bottle's is great !!!!!

  • I MEET SMITHSON in 1970 my father and grandfather worked on spiral jetty I stood at the site while it was being built. I shot some gret vid of it yesterday the lake has receded greatly kevindblanch he joked with me. And laughed and patte me on the back. I got some great vid of the lake and jetty yesterday. I have been out thier a few times. I belive it is at its best RIGHT NOW in its 40 year history.

  • Smithson is one of the greatest artists that lived in the XXth century... But I think he would have never done this floating island like this.
