Spiral Jetty and environs

Are the Spiral Jetty's environs being threatened yet again? via MAN. The Jetty is more than just a disconnected finger of land with little context (as a lot of photos portray it)... it is actually wonderfully connected to its spectacular environs.

Also, Tyler Green's analysis of Jerry Saltz vs. MoMA is pretty much spot on. Every time I visit I find myself wondering about the ossification of MoMA's permanent collection on view. For some reason I'm always treated to way more of Robert Morris' 3rd tier postminimalism (post original idea?) art while finding the refreshingly original Lynda Benglis and Anne Truitt is often impossible. But I think the issue with MoMA goes way beyond gender... the museum is a victim of its own success and has trouble being anything more than a tomb of influence for anything over 20 years old. Though MoMA's special exhibitions do address the issue by having Dorothea Rockburne etc. This is one area PAM competes a little better than some museums, Judy Chicago, Hilla von Rebay, Louise Nevelson, Dorothea Rockburn, a small Eva Hesse, Agnes Martin and Anne Truitt are nearly always on display.
