Spiral Jetty threatened by energy development

An impending threat to Smithson's iconic work located in Utah's Salt Lake, which would be opening up to oil drilling. Comments posted on another blog suggest that this latest development may, in fact, resonate with Smithson's notion of entropy, hence fighting it may *not* be in keeping with the artist's intention. A plausible sounding argument, albeit in a twisted and perverse way. Also see ealrier post here.
