Livestream Screening
Wednesday, September 10, 2025 | 9 am–1 pm | Free
Gather in the Utah Museum of Fine Arts auditorium for a free screening of an online encounter between two earthworks by Robert Smithson.
On Wednesday, September 10, a unique event will take place across two continents connected by video livestream. A live connection between two iconic artworks by American artist Robert Smithson: "Spiral Jetty" (1970) in Utah, United States, and "Broken Circle/Spiral Hill" (1971) in Emmen, Netherlands. They are the only two remaining “earthworks” by Robert Smithson in the world. Most people will know "Spiral Jetty" and "Broken Circle/Spiral Hil"l from images on the Internet, in books, and magazines. Few have visited the works in real life.
Robert Smithson was fascinated by the power of photography, film and language to shape experiences. In his essays and artworks, Smithson explored the relationship between the physical location and the version presented in an exhibition space. He called this the dialogue between the site (an elsewhere) and the nonsite (the here) as the Site/Nonsite dialectic. "From Dawn till Dusk" aims to create a digital space for an encounter between these two earthworks and provides an opportunity to explore and discuss how media influence our perception of sculpture and landscape over time.
Learn more about this livestream on the Land Art Lives website. The full livestream begins at 6 am MST, with the UMFA screening starting part way through at 9 am.
