THE object in question is really just a very largegranite boulder. It weighs 340 tons and is the sizeof a house. It sat unappreciated in a Californiaquarry until Michael Heizer, an artist, spotted it.He decided to haul the rock to a museum in LosAngeles, in order to suspend it so that visitorscould walk through a small channel underneath itand ponder the menace above. 争论中的物体真的是个非常巨大的花岗岩圆石，重340吨，有一座房子那么大。在艺术家迈克尔黑泽尔发现它以前，它一直默默无闻的躺在加利福尼亚的一座采石场里。迈克尔想把这块巨石拖运到洛杉矶的一座博物馆里，在那里将它悬起来，让游客穿过其下的一条窄窄的通道，来感受头上的重物威胁。 Mr Heizer is not just any arty weirdo. Since the 1960s he has been a pioneer of earth art. Inone project, which has engrossed him since 1972, he has been carving a vast city into thedesert of Nevada . Artistically, he enjoys the negativespaces his art creates. Personally, he likes living as a hermit in the desert. 黑泽尔先生不仅仅是个艺术怪胎。从20世纪60年代开始，他就是地景艺术的先驱。他曾全身心的投入到一个项目中，从1972年开始，他就一直在莫哈维沙漠挖掘一座巨大的城市。从艺术上讲，他享受自己艺术创造出来的负空间。而就他自己而言，他喜欢像一位隐士那样住在荒芜的沙漠。 |
