Levitated Mass
Levitated Mass is the story of a 'rock star,' the artist
behind the sensation, a $10 million, 22-city tour, and
the international media storm that ensued. Prominently
displayed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art, land artist Michael Heizer’s Levitated Mass gained
worldwide recognition during its installation in 2012.
Over 10 nights, a 340-ton solid granite boulder crawled
through Southern California neighborhoods on a
294-foot-long, 206-wheeled trailer. Thousands of people
came out to watch it travel through their communities.
The film masterfully interweaves the artist’s biography,
the dreams of a major museum, and the uniting of a city,
while examining the perennial question: what is art?
