Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

This is an email from LACMA (museum of art) to me
For those of you who have been following the transport of the boulder that is part of Michael Heizer’s Levitated Mass, it is the moment you have been waiting for: The megalith will arrive at LACMA during the wee hours of the morning this Saturday, March 10.
The boulder will depart from its location on Figueroa Street, just north of Florence Avenue, Friday night, around 10–11 pm. Because of the complexity of the transport, however, we can’t definitively say when the megalith will be rolling onto the Miracle Mile. For now, we are estimating an arrival time between 2–6 am. Follow @LACMA on Twitter for live updates all night long.
We invite you and your family to join us in welcoming the boulder to the neighborhood. We’ve put together a handy guide to make witnessing the final leg of this journey to LACMA as enjoyable and memorable as possible. From parking to food trucks to Porta Potties—we’ve got you covered.
And there’s one more bonus for staying up late (or getting up early) to watch the boulder arrive: For this weekend only, we are removing the netting from the fences on the corner of Sixth Street and Fairfax Avenue so that the megalith and transporter will be in full view once it has reached its final destination behind the Resnick Pavilion. After this weekend, it all goes under wraps again until the entire Levitated Mass sculpture is complete.
We hope to see you in the neighborhood this weekend!
Transportation was made possible by Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd.
This is part of the Land Art school. I have never really been into this work(e.g. Christo, Smithson etc). There is something very contradictory happening with this piece. A giant boulder being shown in a museum. If vagrants piss on it and gang members write graffiti on it, it might have some potential for me. Otherwise why move the futzing rock?
here is the Wikipedia link to Land Art Land Art
"Land art is to be understood as an artistic protest against the perceived artificiality, plastic aesthetics and ruthless commercialization of art at the end of the 1960s in America. Exponents of land art rejected the museum or gallery as the setting of artistic activity and developed monumental landscape projects which were beyond the reach of traditional transportable sculpture and the commercial art market."
