This unique art installation used boiler tubes from a decommissioned power plant to resemble Antelope Canyon.
關於這個地點
In 2019, when employees of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) were asked to come up with a project to memorialize the power plant that was soon to be decommissioned, they chose to create an art installation using boiler tubes that resemble Antelope Canyon . After the power plant was demolished, a number of 25-foot reheating tubes were removed from the U3 boiler and hand-painted by employees of the city of Page, Arizona .
The art installation stands tall and proud outside of City Hall and commemorates the impact the Navajo Generating Station left on Page and the surrounding area.
The coal-fired power plant provided electricity not only to Page but to other communities in the Southwest for over 40 years and supplied hundreds of long-term reliable jobs. The art installations' resemblance to Antelope Canyon honors the local Indigenous culture and can be interpreted as a symbol of the citizens of Page's new employer, the tourism industry.
