Fleeting, Jetty, Decasia

Studio 360

Studio 360 rescues the fleeting moments. Kurt Andersen and art critic Marcia Tucker look at art that’s ephemeral. At Utah’s Great Salt Lake, Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty is visible again, after being submerged off and on for almost three decades. A filmmaker revels in the toxic beauty of decaying celluloid. And preservationists scramble to record the vanishing moments of a dance.
