Plan of Corey Island, renamed Boulder Island here, for the Island Eye Island Ear project, never realized. Courtesy of Mary Hotaling. Island Eye Island Ear was to be a temporary art installation proposed by artist Billy Kluver and Fujiko Nakaya in 1978. His request to use the state land on Bluff Island on Lower Saranac Lake was refused by the Adirondack Park Agency.
In 1978 Arthur Hardy Jr. offered Corey Island, which he called Boulder Island, in Upper Saranac Lake to a group of artists to stage an environmental art show featuring kites, artificial clouds, and broadcast nature sounds. However, Hardy's brother and sister, Dr. Edward A. Hardy and Helen B. Rooney, also owners of the island, engaged in a legal skirmish that blocked the use of the private island for the show, which had become very controversial.
Finally the show was never held as a result of a long and public controversy involving the State, the Hardy family, and residents of the Upper Saranac Lake in 1979.
Composer and inventor David Tudor was also part of this project. (Source: http://davidtudor.org/Articles/cie_buffalo.html#puppetry).
