Things That Are Slightly Easier To Do Than Wash Your Hands

Run the water so it sounds like you’re washing your hands.

Look to see if anybody else is in the bathroom that could notice you not wash your hands.

Not wash your hands.

This weekend’s September to Remember activity. The Lightning Field, 1977,  by the American sculptor Walter De Maria, is a work of Land Art situated  in a remote area of the high desert of southwestern New Mexico. It is  comprised of 400 polished stainless steel poles installed in a grid  array measuring one mile by one kilometer. The poles—two inches in  diameter and averaging 20 feet and 7½ inches in height—are spaced 220  feet apart and have solid pointed tips that define a horizontal plane. A  sculpture to be walked in as well as viewed, The Lightning Field is  intended to be experienced over an extended period of time, and visitors  are encouraged to spend as much time as possible in it alone,  especially during sunset and sunrise. In order to provide this  opportunity, Dia offers overnight visits during the months of May  through October.Commissioned and maintained by Dia Art  Foundation, The Lightning Field is recognized internationally as one of  the late-twentieth century’s most significant works of art and  exemplifies Dia’s commitment to the support of art projects whose nature  and scale exceed the limits normally available within the traditional  museum or gallery.
