Reprints
Reprints is a collection of twenty-one photocopied handouts on the topic of natural casts of dinosaur tracks, comprised of texts and text excerpts written by different paleontologists concerning the phenomenon of natural casts of dinosaur tracks found in the roofs of Utah coal mines, researched, edited, copied, and reformatted by Allan McCollum.
Reprints originally supplemented the Natural Copies from the Coal Mines of Central Utah series, as handouts to the gallery visitors. This series, which began in 1994, involved the artist working in cooperation with the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum in the coal mining town of Price, Utah, to make molds of their entire dinosaur track cast collection.
The Reprints texts are available on allanmccollum.net, for anyone who might want to use them for educational purposes.

High Desert Test Sites heads to Green River, Utah for our next “big” event, HDTS: Epicenter.
Following the epic HDTS 2013 event, which took us on the road to Albuquerque, New Mexico, we are turning our focus in 2015 to the communities and contemporary art programs in rural Utah. For our next event we will be partnering with Epicenter, a Green River-based organization founded in 2009 by a group of architectural designers, in the spirit of Samuel Mockbee’s visionary Rural Studio. We are inspired by the energy and vision at Epicenter, and by the ways in which they provide resources to local residents through active involvement in their intimate community.
HDTS: Epicenter is a collaborative curation of artists’ projects, along with many regional points of interest and programs in diverse locations in and around the rural Utah community of Green River. Participating artists include:
