Synopsis

Watch: Levitated Mass 2013 123movies, Full Movie Online – 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–but not in the way you might expect. Prominently displayed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, renowned and reclusive land artist Michael Heizer’s “Levitated Mass” gained worldwide recognition during its installation in 2012. Over the course of 10 nights, a 340-ton solid granite boulder crawled through Southern California neighborhoods on a 294-foot-long, 206-wheeled trailer, drawing hundreds of camera crews and cell phone shooters alike to document its journey. Tens of thousands of people came out to watch the megalith travel through their communities to its final resting place over a 456-foot-long negative space formed by a concrete slot. “Levitated Mass” is one of the only pieces of art in recent history to inspire such a reaction in pop culture, bringing together the art community, public officials, and the general population to debate the merits and pitfalls of a giant stone suspended above their heads. The film takes on Heizer’s passion for this piece and masterfully interweaves this influential artist’s biography with the back story of the art (originally conceptualized in 1968), the dreams of a major museum, and the uniting of a city, examining the perennial question: “What is art?”.
Plot: The artist behind the sensation of a $10 million, 22-city tour, and the international media storm that ensued.

Engrossing Doc
Who could possibly think that a documentary about a 340 ton granite boulder could be so fascinating and interesting? Yet that’s exactly what I thought this film was.

An alert manager at a rock quarry near Riverside, California notified one of his long-standing customers, the acclaimed artist and sculptor Michael Heizer, that a boulder of the size and possible shape he had been looking for some forty years had come loose and was available. After Heizer flew in the next day and confirmed this was indeed the one, the wheels were set in motion to plan for the boulder to eventually be sent to the Los Angeles County Museum, to be exhibited there as “Levitated Mass” The Director of the museum, Michael Govan, on his end began to contact private donors and supporters of Heizer to help fund the costs of this mammoth undertaking. Thereafter, the logistical and bureaucratic nightmare began of safely transporting this massively heavy rock (heavier than a 747), which stood some 2 stories high, through 22 different cities from Riverside to Los Angeles.

Aside from all of that, perhaps the heart of the documentary was to witness how people along the transport route reacted to the passing of the boulder. Spurred by social media, as well as local and even national news coverage, people waited hours along the route to view it sometimes even in pajamas. This became an “event” with “rockapaloozas” springing up, as well as “rock” concerts, and people lining up to pose for pictures with mock-ups of the boulder.

Conspiracy theories were in full bloom, as well, with some espousing that the rock was from outer space, while others stated it must have been sent by God, and still others claiming it must be a military weapon. Some mocked it as art, while others envisioned how it certainly could be a great exhibit.

All in all, this documentary, directed by Doug Pray, was surprisingly interesting and absorbing, as well as smartly paced and well presented.

Quite a surprise
Knowing nothing about Michael Heizer (I am Australian) or his sculptures/public art installations, I did not know what to expect from this 90 minute documentary about the installation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, but it was a great “ride” along the road (literally, in much of the film) to see how the idea was made, when it was started, other works he had done, including some great “holes”, mostly in USA. The cinematography was really good, and varied between landscape scale and personal interviews. The directing and the narrating were first class, and we almost felt that we were part of the journey even though we are a long way away. Particularly enjoyable were the encounters with lots and lots of friendly or bemused locals along the way. If you like feature length documentaries, I think this one is a big screen documentary, that’s for sure.
