LAND ARTEARTH
INTERVENTION
Land Art• LAND ART= art + nature• “Land art, or Earth art is an art movement
which emerged in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s.”
• “It is an art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such as soil, rock, organic media, and water with introduced materials such as concrete, metal, asphalt, or mineral pigments.”
It is NOT a sculpture….• “Land Art is not an object placed in the
landscape, rather, the landscape is the means of their creation.”
• “The works frequently exist in the open, located well away from civilization, left to change and erode under natural conditions.”
• It is mostly ephemeral (disappears with time)• Photographic registration is what is left.• Big dimensions
Origins of LAND ART• The first images we have of man making art
with land, is the Nazca Lines in Perú. 400-650 B.C.
