Program Description

Description

Earth Art, also referred to as Land Art or Earthworks, is an art movement that uses the natural landscape to create site-specific structures and sculptures. The roots of Earth Art can be traced back to antiquity, The Serpent Mound, Nazca Line Drawings, Stonehenge, and there was a return of the medium in the late 1960s when a greater consciousness to preserve the earth gained momentum. Earth Art is monumental and incorporates a minimalist simplicity of objects with the favored materials being those extracted directly from nature, such as stones, water, gravel and soil. Old and new works will be examined. Artists working with and on the earth will be the unifying theme in this visual lecture by Thomas Germano.
