Hikmet Loe (Art) recently published the article "Can International Art Star Olafur Eliasson Provoke Urgency to Restore Great Salt Lake?" online with Southwest Contemporary. It asks additional questions based upon an interview with the artist. Eliasson's work, "A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake" was created as part of the program "Wake the Great Salt Lake," a project supported through Bloomberg Philanthropics. Great Salt Lake has been in decline since 2000 and has become a toxic space due to climate change and human interventions. How impactful is art in calling attention to this environmental disaster?
