Special screening at the Cinematheque: Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970, 35 min.)

Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970, 35 min.) will be screened on January 31, 6:30 PM, at the CIA Cinematheque, Aitken Auditorium.

Kirsten Swenson, Visiting Lecturer in Contemporary Art at Case, will introduce the artist's film based on his famous earthwork in the Great Salt Lake, Utah.  The Spiral Jetty film was considered by Smithson a work of art in its own right, not merely documentation.  The film itself one of the most influential artworks of the 20th century, and this is a rare opportunity to view it in its entirety.
