Richard Serra concluded simply and unequivocally that "to move the work is to destroy the work". To move the site-specific work is to replace it, to make it something else.
As I pointed out "Titled Arc" was conceived from the start as a site-specific sculpture and was not meant to be "site-adjusted" or "relocated". Site-specific works deal with the environmental components of given places. The scale, size and location of site-specific works are determined by the topography of the site, wheter it be urban or landscape or architectural enclosure. The works become part of the site and restructure both conceptually and perceptually the organization of the site.
