It’s a good thing that LA and California have a lot of excess funds available for projects like this.

Hi Aimee – you’ll be able to see the rock from all sides, and can get up close to it. When you walk down the slot underneath the rock, it will be 15 feet off the ground.

@Aimee — We are talking about a mounted rock here. Go hiking outside somewhere and you’ll see something similar that you can touch. Disconnect from technology so you can start enjoying life around you. Public art is everywhere in nature but it doesn’t scream with a label “Look at me! I’m a work of art.” Too often we get wrapped up into what someone else considers art rather than discovering for ourselves what is right in front of our eyes. Start looking, Aimee. You can touch art everything. This rock is not something special now that it has left it’s original nesting place.

Does anyone know how high above our heads the work will reside? Can someone touch it? Is there any access to the rock above ground? I am interested in this work as a public piece of art – or willit be closed to non-paying folks on the street?

Taking the boulder out of context is the point. Comparisons to the Egyptian monuments have been made but I think that the true mother of this project may be Stonehenge. Those rocks weren’t just lying around on site either.

It could be said that art is about making us relate to the world in a new way. Walking under a 340 ton boulder in a seismic area really should have that effect. This is what I plan to do for my sixtieth birthday. And I will have to travel a couple of thousand miles to do it.
