Emily Budd (Art) has published a creative essay titled, “Cruising the Monuments of the Outskirts of Las Vegas,” for the ecoartspace publication, The New Geologic Epoch. Budd’s essay reimagines Robert Smithson’s seminal work, “A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey,” to explore the possibilities of Queer Renewal among a set of environmental ruins rising around Las Vegas.
