Recently, I had the opportunity to drive up to Dia: Beacon with an interesting pair of travelers: the man Art in America called «the most powerful and
controversial environmental artist NY has ever known» the infamous master builder of New York's infrastructure, the late Robert Moses, and that ever elusive land artist, the late Robert Smithson.
Never one to pull back from
controversial discussion, the
artist's work addresses the complexity of gender, injustice, inequality, the atrocities of war, and the
environmental costs of nuclear dependence.
