Ends of the Earth for me

Pamela and me

Ends of the Earth: Land Art to 1974 is the first large-scale, historical-thematic exhibition to deal broadly with Land art.  Earth used as an artistic medium highlights the early years of untested artistic experimentation and concludes in the mid-1970s before Land art becomes a fully institutionalized category. Rather than romanticizing notions of "return to nature" or an "escape from culture", the exhibition provides a comprehensive overview that reveals the complexity of the movement's social and political engagement with the historical conditions of its time. Seen here overwhelmed but the sculptural force of the form.  Thru September 2012 at MOCA, Geffen Contemporary.
