Proposals for exhibitions and installations for LAND/ART are being sought
by The Harwood Art Center and Richard Levy Gallery.

In the summer and fall of 2009 many of New Mexico arts organizations will
join together to present LAND/ART, 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 The
Lightning Field and Charles Ross' Star Axis in New Mexico, Robert
Smithson's Spiral Jetty and Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels in Utah, and James
Turrell's Roden Crater in Arizona. Since then, the Land Art genre has been
subsumed under the more 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.

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:
