I went downtown to see "Pages of Salt," Salt Lake City's newest and largest public art installation. I was excited to see something interesting and different for a change, but was sorely disappointed.
It looked amazing, but the only way to view it is to travel south on a mostly empty Regent Street or stand in the loading dock of the Eccles Theater. At a $2.2M price tag, this public art should be visible the public, not tucked away for the privilege of those holding theater tickets.
Note to the planners: Perhaps you missed it, but there is a big, empty, highly-visible wall on the east side of the parking garage that could have used some sprucing up.
