Smithson has a lot to say about contemporary sculpture and their use of materials. When discussing entropy, he is commenting on the notion that based on the materials use and lack of temporal trajectories in art create an entropy in which energy is drained rather then created. He makes the claim that the current sculptures not only forgets the past but hides the future. Therefore, my question for Smithson is that if one needs temporality exhibited in their artwork in order to create a master peice, are earthworks the most useful medium of installations?

Again, reading the conversation about the museum, time again plays an important role in the creation of art. A museum, as seen in modern art, can be made to be timeless through the use of unchaning materials in an unchanging environment. My other question is thus, can an earthwork be constructed in a museum and would it have the same meaning, or how would the meaning be affected. also, can there a museum be created that is actually an earthwork. For instance, a museum that changes over time due to its location that also has the ability to hold other different works of art?
