Proposals for exhibitions and installations for LAND/ART are being sought by The Harwood Art Center and Richard Levy Gallery.<br />
<br />
In the summer and fall of 2009 many of New Mexico arts organizations will join together to present <i>LAND/ART</i>, exploring relationships of land, art and community through exhibitions, site-specific art works, lectures and a culminating book. Focusing on "environmental" or "land" art, the collaboration seeks to address our changing relationship to nature, and to offer a new or previously unconsidered understanding of the place in which we live. Historically, New Mexico has been a place where the intersection of nature and culture is at issue. In the 1960s and '70s, the American Southwest was the location of the first generation of Land Art or Earthworks, including such major projects as Walter De Maria's <i>The Lightning Field</i> and Charles Ross' <i>Star Axis</i> in New Mexico, Robert Smithson's <i>Spiral Jetty</i> and Nancy Holt's <i>Sun Tunnels </i>in Utah, and James Turrell's <i>Roden Crater</i> in Arizona. Since then, the Land Art genre has been subsumed under the mo
re general term "environmental art" which is a highly diverse and vital feature of contemporary art around the world. This new genre recognizes that what we now think of as the "environment" has broadened to include the global community, the microscopic world, and cyber space as well as wilderness, the urban environment and suburban sprawl. It includes ecological activism, reclamation and remediation projects, and ephemeral site-specific performances, among many other approaches, all of which have in common art and artists that respond to features of our natural environment.<br />
<br />
LAND/ART is coordinated by 516 ARTS and includes many museums and arts organizations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and the region. For information on all of the LAND/ART project artists and presenters, The Harwood Art Center, and Richard Levy Gallery, please visit us at:<br />
