Kevin T. Jones: Tanker trucks through Nine Mile Canyon make as much sense as a highway through a modern art museum.
Water trucks make their way along the dirt road in Nine Mile Canyon in 2010.A proposed bypass connecting Highway 101 with I-10 through Los Angeles County has drawn the ire of historic preservationists and art aficionados alike. While touted as an economic necessity that will enable more efficient transport of goods — especially oil products — through the area, the effects on historic neighborhoods and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are seen by many as unacceptable.
While this proposal is purely imaginary — so far — a similar proposal is in the works that will cut through the heart of what has been called “The world’s longest art gallery” — Nine Mile Canyon in central Utah. Pecked and painted on to the cliff faces of this spectacular sandstone canon are thousands upon thousands of incredible works of art spanning at least 2,000 years. Created by the unimaginably talented artists of the hunting and gathering archaic cultures, the farming, tower-building Fremont Culture and the Bear-Dancing horseback-mounted Utes, these are not simple “folk art” or stick-figures. They are complex works of fine art as deeply human as any in a modern museum.
