Michael Heizer,"45°, 90°, 180°, City" 

After 50 Years, Michael Heizer’s Colossal Desert Installation Is Finally Finished !

City is built on the lands of the ​​Nuwu (Southern Paiute) and Newe Segobia (Western Shoshone), in the remote Basin and Range National Monument in central eastern Nevada, about 200 miles north of Las Vegas. 

The site is approximately near another of Heizer’s hugely influential earthworks, “Double Negative” (1969), sited at the Moapa Valley on Mormon Mesa near Overton, Nevada, and — at least as of the time I visited the site in 2016 — is not marked by any signage and accessible only by off-roading across the open desert. 

The scale and precision of Heizer’s works defy credulity under the most institutional of conditions; the results he has repeatedly produced in a landscape void of any supporting infrastructure absolutely beggar belief.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Two tribes that joined a legal battle over plans to build a mine at the largest known U.S. deposit of lithium urged a judge Thursday to temporarily ban digging for an archaeological survey that they say would desecrate sacred tribal lands in Nevada near the Oregon line.

The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony and Atsa Koodakuh Wyh Nuwu/People of Red Mountain are intervening in a lawsuit that four conservation groups have filed against Lithium Nevada Corp. The tribes say their ancestors were massacred in the late 1800s at the proposed Thacker Pass site that would mine lithium, a key component in electric vehicle batteries. Demand for the mineral is expected to triple over the next five years.

The tribes say the Bureau of Land Management’s approval of the project in December during the final weeks of the Trump administration violates the National Historic Preservation Act because they haven’t been consulted about potential efforts to mitigate damage to their sacred lands.
