Robert Smithson and Richard Serra both believed that sculpture should have a dialogue with its environment. In the case of Serra’s Tilted Arc, the dialogue became an argument culminating in the work’s removal from New York’s financial district. Presented by Paul Wood, this program explores the challenging dialectic of the site-specific sculptures of Smithson and Serra by closely examining Smithson’s Broken Circle, Spiral Hill in Holland, Serra’s Fulcrum at Broadgate Station in London, and Spin Out, Serra’s tribute to Smithson also located in Holland. In an interview, Serra discusses the aspects of time and context in relation to his works, as well as being influenced by Smithson. Produced by the Open University. (25 minutes)
