NYTimes Article: “How to Conserve Art That Lives in a Lake?”
I have fond memories of Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty from art courses in college. I love that their bare-bones approach to conservation (documentation really).
“Along with a little helium, some fishing line, a slightly hacked Canon PowerShot G9 point-and-shoot digital camera, an improvised plywood and metal cradle for the camera and some plastic zip ties (to keep the cradle attached and the neck of the balloon cinched), a floating land-art documentation machine was improvised, MacGyver-like.”
