Visiting Artist [sic], Part 8/8, Robert Smithson II, by greg.org

From a lecture I gave at the University of Utah on April 3, 2007.

After re-emerging from the Great Salt Lake, Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty" is going through changes and re-evaluation related to its popularity, not necessarily related to the artist's intentions for the work.

This is also the segment where I declared my talk to be a work as well, just in case. Then I passed out signed, numbered certificates of authenticity to the audience. 46 people ended up taking them.
