Levitated Mass LACMA

Image
www.wednesdaysattic.com Way back in the twentieth century—1969, to be precise—Michael Heizer had the idea for an artwork he’d call  Levitated Mass . It would be a massive rock perched atop a long slot in the earth. He even got so far as to start creating the artwork in the Nevada desert: he had a 120-ton rock and he dug out the slot. Unfortunately, one of two cranes he was using to mount the rock buckled under the weight, and the project was not completed. Read the rest HERE at LACMAS own blog! Here is the rock arriving at it's new home! I have not seen it in person yet, but we are sure to go before the year is out.
