Tortoise Controversy

The first exhibition on the rooftop of the new Aspen Art Museum, Cai Guo-Qiang’s installation “Moving Ghost Town” sparked controversy among Aspenites and animal-rights activists concerned about the well-being of tortoises with iPads attached to their shells. The tortoises were removed after a few weeks because of a streak of cool, wet weather.
