The proposal by Pearl Exploration & Production to drill for oil about 4 miles from Spiral Jetty has the artist in me competing with the anti-environmentalist wackjob. On one hand, I think the fanaticism with which oil drilling in the U.S. is opposed is not good for us in the long run; then again, isn’t there anyplace else farther away from a world-famous piece of contemporary art they could go? Wow, I’m scaring myself here…
