Nancy Holt, an artist exploring the human perception of time and space, earth and sky, built the Solar Tunnels as a unique artistic project completed in 1976. The four tunnels are concrete tubes arranged in the shape of X, each pierced with holes to model the constellations of Draco, Perseus, Columbia, and Capricorn. They are massive - nine feet high by 18 feet long. They sit in a valley west of the Bonneville Salt Flats. Holt said her tunnels bring the sky down to earth with the dazzling effect of the light bouncing through the tubes.
Spiral Jetty is an earthwork sculpture constructed in April 1970 that is considered to be the most important work of American sculptor Robert Smithson. Smithson documented the construction of the sculpture in a 32-minute color film also titled Spiral Jetty. Built on the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake near Rozel Point in Utah entirely of mud, salt crystals, and basalt rocks, Spiral Jetty forms a 1,500-foot-long (460 m), 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) counterclockwise coil jutting from the shore of the lake. In 1999, the artwork was donated to Dia Art Foundation.
