Land and Environmental Art 


"The Traditional landscape genre was radically transform in the 1960's when many artist stopped merely representing the land and made their mark directly in the environment, reflecting the counter cultural impulses of the that decade, artist rejected the gallery as a form and the art world as an economic system" 

"Interruption, projects that conjoin the environment and human activity by employing non-indigenous man made materials ranging from aspnlt or glue to a row of Cadillac  the works are expanded to match the large scale of the environment its self they use manufactured substances and structures or machines and technology  to frame, set in motion or harness natural elements reneging from coastlines to forked lighting."

"The artists place an increasing emphasis on the transgresive qualities of the activity, questioning the definition of what is "Natural" ... . . . ."

Artist that work  in this way that i am inspired by have made such an impact on art today, artist such as, Christo and Jeanne-Claude and Richard long.
