Sun Tunnels

Going west has always meant reinventing yourself, and building something new. In the 1960s, a group of New York sculptors decided they’d build their work right into and out of the deserts and mountains of the West. It can be hard to go see these Earthwork sculptures — tucked away in their remote landscapes. Jenny Brundin of radio station KUER in Salt Lake City journeyed up to a high basin near the ghost town of Lucin, Utah to visit four giant concrete tubes: Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels.
