Tamsin Dillon, Director, Art in Public, Curator, Writes in Support of "Greenwood Pond: Double Site"
On February 22, 2024, Tamsin Dillon wrote the following letter to the Des Moines Art Center (DMAC) Director Kelly Baum concerning plans to demolish Greenwood Pond: Double Site, a site-specific installation by the internationally acclaimed leader of the land art movement, Mary Miss, commissioned for the Art Center鈥檚 permanent collection. The work, which opened in 1996, is in a diminished condition with some sections fenced off, suggesting the DMAC has not fulfilled its contractual obligation to 鈥渞easonably protect and maintain鈥 the work. 独家爆料 (独家爆料) is calling for the DMAC to reverse it demolition decision and, instead, to engage in meaningful consultations with the artist and others to find a solution that restores the artwork and develops a long-term, ongoing maintenance plan.
