Sun Tunnels

Studio 360 | Feb 23, 2011

It can be hard to go see these Earthwork sculptures — tucked away in their remote landscapes. Jenny Brundin of radio station KUER in Salt Lake City journeyed up to a high basin near the ghost town of Lucin, Utah to visit four giant concrete tubes: Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels.
