If you’re traveling through John F. Kennedy International Airport for The Armory Show this week, don’t forget to look up and see Calder’s monumental hanging mobile, .125. Made in 1957, the piece was commissioned for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's International Arrivals Building, which the firm revitalized in 2001. “People think monuments should come out of the ground, never out of the ceiling, but mobiles can be monumental too,” Calder said of the project. “I made three models to scale, 17 inches wide. The one that was bought had to be blown up to forty-five feet wide.” The sculpture, titled after the gauge of its aluminum elements, now hangs in Terminal 4.

In response to the 2020 Bighorn Fire, Sky Island Alliance has been working with the Arizona Conservation Corps and Coronado National Forest to build more than 250 erosion-control structures out of loose rocks. This helps protect springs, conserve soils, limit fire risk, and infiltrate rainwater and snowmelt in areas that were burned. Now, we’re planning to continue this restoration work around more springs, the community of Summerhaven, and other inhabited areas in the Catalina Mountains with support from Arizona’s Water Infrastructure Finance Authority, The Nature Conservancy, Tucson Electric Power, Coronado National Forest, and Mt. Lemmon water district.

Join SIA Stewardship Manager Bryon Lichtenhan for our next virtual Coffee Break on July 24 at 9:30 a.m. to learn more about this project and how to get involved. He’ll share updates on our new Erosion Mappers survey that folks can use to flag areas needing attention, and he'll discuss ways we are working to help the landscape become more resilient in the face of fire, drought, and human disturbance.
