Robert Smithson’s “Gyrostasis” (1967) anticipates his earthwork “Spiral Jetty” (1970) and provides a unique view of Michael Heizer's "Levitated Mass" (2012) as discovered by @texifornianjames. Currently in the exhibition "Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959–1971” #lacma #dwangallery #RobertSmithson #MichaelHeizer #regram . ___________________ #minimalist #entropy #choas #order #earthworks #temporal #kentstateuniversity #nonsites #landart #doublenegative #levitadedmass #gyrostasis #spiraljetty

#Repost @thejustinjorgensen with @repostapp ・・・ Hard to believe LAPD once considered this "pornography." Tonight a couple asked me to take their picture as they sat in front of it like they were picnicking. From the wall text "Back Seat Dodge '38" is one of Kienholz's best-known works. The sculpture depicts two figures made of plaster and chicken wire inside a truncated Dodge coupe, which is parked on a plot of fake grass strewn with beer bottles. The couple is shown engaging in sexual activity, set to a soundtrack of 1940s music. Originally exhibited at Dwan Gallery Los Angeles in 1964, the work caused an uproar. An anonymous complaint was filed with the police, and detectives from the vice squad showed up at the gallery to investigate. The case was dropped, but when the work was exhibited at LACMA in a 1966 Kienholz retrospective, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors demanded its removal, citing its "pornographic" nature. LACMA's Board of Trustees refused, and the museum eventually negotiated a compromise: the car door would remain closed, only to be opened upon request and if no minors were present. Dwan continued to show Kienholz's work in both Los Angeles and New York, often drawing attention and large crowds." #edkienholz #DwanGallery
