From Dawn till Dusk 2025

We are proud to partner with Land Art Lives, in collaboration with Land Art Contemporary, Land Arts of the American West, to present the second edition of a special livestream conversation between two iconic earthworks by Robert Smithson: Spiral Jetty (1970) and Broken Circle/Spiral Hill (1971). 

Broadcasting live from first light at Spiral Jetty and concluding with last light at Broken Circle/Spiral Hill, this special digital event is a part of Land Art Lives, an on-going research project exploring the relevance of Land Art for our current times. Spiral Jetty arcs from the northeastern shore of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, near Rozel Point, into an increasingly long stretch of exposed lakebed, the shrinking edge of the waters reflecting the increasing desiccation of the site. Broken Circle/Spiral Hill is located in a former sand quarry within a landscape shaped by ice age geology. 

The livestream will span two time zones, capturing the dynamic, ever-changing life of the earthworks. Land Art Lives will broadcast live from Broken Circle/Spiral Hill in the Netherlands, while Land Arts of the American West (Texas Tech University) will be live on site at Spiral Jetty in Utah.

This will be available as a livestream on September 10, 2025 through the Land Art Lives website and directly broadcasted at Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Salt Lake City, USA and Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, the Netherlands.
