LEVITATED MASS is the story of a rock star; the artist behind the sensation; a $10 million, 22-city tour; and the international media storm that ensued--but not in the way you might expect. Prominently displayed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, renowned and reclusive land artist Michael Heizer's "Levitated Mass" gained worldwide recognition during its installation in 2012. Over the course of 10 nights, a 340-ton solid granite boulder crawled through Southern California neighborhoods on a 294-foot-long, 206-wheeled trailer, drawing hundreds of camera crews and cell phone shooters alike to document its journey. Tens of thousands of people came out to watch the megalith travel through their communities to its final resting place over a 456-foot-long negative space formed by a concrete slot. "Levitated Mass" is one of the only pieces of art in recent history to inspire such a reaction in pop culture, bringing together the art community, public officials, and the general population to debate the merits and pitfalls of a giant stone suspended above their heads. The film takes on Heizer's passion for this piece and masterfully interweaves this influential artist's biography with the back story of the art (originally conceptualized in 1968), the dreams of a major museum, and the uniting of a city, examining the perennial question: "What is art?"

Not just a rock.
时隔三年终于把纪录片看了,期望5月能experience真实的它
能够激起如此之多情绪反应的表达创作,还能不算艺术吗?光是看屏幕里的它已经被震撼到无以复加,很好奇自己从它下方走过那一刻的心情。能够给这么多人带来感触,就值得这一趟艰难的旅程了。
纪录片里,这个片子算得上好看的了,有很多让人excited的场景。当整个城市都为这块石头所牵动的时候,有点摇滚精神的感觉。但是,等冷静下来,我发现这其实还是一块石头。虽有惊心动魄,但是人们很快会忘记它。这是一个不缺乏所谓艺术的时代。我可以说我烂掉的桃子也是艺术。
相对有感触的还是车队驶入LACMA之前没有对白的一小段旅程,那才是“艺术品”真正完成的一刻。其余无论是之前沿途的众说纷纭还是之后艺术家的最终现身都不过是意料之中,而且对Heizer至少在这件作品上的理念也不敢说特别认同。
