Robert Smithson, Detail of Mirror and Crushed Shells showing map of Sanibel Island, Florida
On July 9, 1969 Robert Smithson wrote the following letter to Andy Warhol about Mirror and Crushed Shells:
"Dear Andy, This is to certify that the Mirror with Crushed Shells (Sanibel Island) is an original work of art. It consists of three mirrors which may be restored if broken, and one burlap bag of crushed shells collected by the artist at Sanibel Island, April, 1969. If any shells are ever lost, the owner has the right to restore the work by collecting more shells from Sanibel Island (northern part of island – see map of site which is part of the work). The three mirrors are held in place in a corner by the pressure of the shells only. (See photo). The work is owned by Andy Warhol, and can not be duplicated.
Signed Robert Smithson"

American Primitive: remember Jack Rose (1971-2009)
"Rose was the premier American Primitive guitarist of his generation, furthering the experiments in guitar soli of John Fahey and Robbie Basho while factoring in wildcart influences drawn in avant rock , improvisation and drone. Rose was a member of Pelt alongside Patrick Best and Mike Gangloff, a group that metamorphosed from a straightforward noise rock project to an improvisatory ensemble that extended American folk traditions into eternal music settings inspired by minimalist composers and devotional music." (The Wire)
On December 5, 2009, Jack Rose, age 38, has died of a heart attack in his home town of Philadelphia, 10 years after having composed Ghosts Are Never Forgiven with his group Pelt, in 1999.
