Land Art<\/h1>\n

What is Land Art? Alternatively referred to as Earthworks, Earth Art and Land Art, in the 1960s and 70s, there emerged an aggregation of novel artistic practices keyed to the natural landscape. Located outside the mainstream art making and institutions, these practices challenged the ideas associated with art making, aesthetic categories\u00a0and\u00a0location.<\/p>\n

Land Art began as an American phenomenon, represented by artists such as Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, Robert Smithson, and Walther De Maria, only later spreading to Great Britain and continental Europe. As a way of avoiding traditional painting or sculpture, Land artists turned to the medium of\u00a0landscape,\u00a0using the earth as canvas and exploring caterpillars and bulldozers as artistic tools. Unlike its direct predecessor Arte Povera and Minimalism, Land Art privileged the natural habitat rather than the space of a conventional gallery. These early artworks \u2014 trenches, mounds, rocks, and excavations \u2014 demanded an open space and sense of scale unachievable in the city.<\/p>\n

While Land artists understood themselves as explorers of the remote, vast landscapes of American deserts which became sites\u00a0for their art, questioning the established perceptions of locality, objecthood, density, mass, and scale. Both historic and current present Land Art engages with the understanding of landscape not only as the earth\u2019s physicality but also with the physiology and psychology of the viewer\u2014a beholder and participant.
