What...? We didn’t destroy The Utah Monolith?! Nope. It’s still very here. There’s been a lot of question asking —name calling and a ridiculous amount of personal attacks and death threats—so here are the answers you guys want, finally. 1. Why wait to respond? Lawyers. Sorry about the delay. 2. Why take it and not destroy it? We took b/c it was leading to irreparable damage to the area; permanently—but the idea behind the art — as well as the art was beautiful. We also had heard about plans to completely destroy it that night. We got confirmation later, that story was 100% true. 3. Where is it now? We in good faith gifted it back to the BLM as so that they can launch a full investigation surrounding who installed the art, why, and figure out a place for it to live now. It is not on eBay and clues are slowly appearing. We also wanted to create discussions behind land management techniques and the importance of the natural world, its native people, plants, and inhabitants. 4. How is the monolith different from slacklines, climbs, and space nets? The main differences are: slacklines and space nets are not permanent structures— they are rigged and removed after use— usually the day of rigging. There are also ways of being commercially permitted here (I.e. making money in the desert), so many people guide these areas (towers, cliffs, canyons) under BLM permits, professionally. So, to the hundreds of people who signed on to remove my space net— the good news is that it’s been down and wasn’t even rigged this year due to COVID (yet, another reason the monolith was an issue). You might say bolts in the rock are permanent — but they too often get replaced/ removed—and are also accepted and legal forms of land use in certain areas. “User group areas,” are defined by BLM, and now we are working on a proposal for a designated area— for building art — to be brought into existence. People should also know bolts are actually illegal too, in a lot of places— as well as mountain biking, driving, climbing, slacklining, etc.
