  • Size, Scale and the Imaginary in the Work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim
    Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim © Michael Albert Hedger A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Art History and Art Education UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES | Art & Design August 2014 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hedger First name: Michael Other name/s: Albert Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Ph.D. School: Art History and Education Faculty: Art & Design Title: Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Conventionally understood to be gigantic interventions in remote sites such as the deserts of Utah and Nevada, and packed with characteristics of "romance", "adventure" and "masculinity", Land Art (as this thesis shows) is a far more nuanced phenomenon. Through an examination of the work of three seminal artists: Michael Heizer (b. 1944), Dennis Oppenheim (1938-2011) and Walter De Maria (1935-2013), the thesis argues for an expanded reading of Land Art; one that recognizes the significance of size and scale but which takes a new view of these essential elements. This is achieved first by the introduction of the "imaginary" into the discourse on Land Art through two major literary texts, Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726) and Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias (1818)- works that, in addition to size and scale, negotiate presence and absence, the whimsical and fantastic, longevity and death, in ways that strongly resonate with Heizer, De Maria and especially Oppenheim.

  • Discussion Guide
    POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE Art and Craft A Film directed by Sam Cullman and Jennifer Grausman and co-directed by Mark Becker www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKERS NEW YORK CITY , F EBRUARY 2015 When The New York Times published an article about Mark Landis, one of the most prolific art forgers in U.S. history, we were hooked from the start by its unusual premise: a talented and seemingly inex - haustible art forger who wasn’t motivated by money. Over the last 30 years, Landis had copied hundreds of pieces, from Sam Cullman Jennifer Grausman Mark Becker 15th-century icons to works Photo by London King Photo by Deborah Grausman Photo by Nadine Maleh by Pablo Picasso and even Dr. Seuss. And then, posing as a philanthropic donor, a grieving executor of a family member’s will and, most recently, as a Jesuit priest, he donated them—hundreds of them—to a staggering list of museums across the United States. At the time, Landis had yet to be tracked down by the media, so we began filming with Matthew Leininger, an unusually tena - cious registrar in Cincinnati who had first uncovered the decades-long ruse. Determined to bring Landis’s “philanthropic” spree to an end, Leininger set the stage for a cat-and-mouse chase that would play out in front of our camera for the next two years. But we were dying to know more. Who was Mark Landis? What were his motivations? We had to meet him. Remarkably, Landis was hiding in plain sight at his mother’s house in Mississippi.

They are part of a wider project, Rumours of a New Planet, which I have undertaken over the last two years, following an invitation from Collective to devise an alternative way to access the potentialities present in a site rich in historical and associative narratives. My approach – both in this book and in the wider project – has been to consider Calton Hill as a central node in a network of ideas, events, people and spaces. As such, the essays in this book are not about Calton Hill, but instead represent a view from it, or more specifically, a view from a building positioned on its peak: the City Observatory.

SYNOPSIS Mark Landis has been called one of the most prolific art forgers in US history. His impressive body of work spans thirty years, covering a wide range of painting styles and periods that includes 15th Century Icons, Picasso, and even Walt Disney. And while the copies could fetch impressive sums on the open market, Landis isn't in it for money. Posing as a philanthropic donor, a grieving executor of a family member’s will, and most recently as a Jesuit priest, Landis has given away hundreds of works over the years to a staggering list of institutions across the United States. But after duping Matthew Leininger, a tenacious registrar who ultimately discovers the decades-long ruse and sets out to expose his philanthropic escapades to the art world, Landis must confront his own legacy and a chorus of museum professionals clamoring for him to stop. However, stopping isn’t as simple as it might appear. Landis, it turns out, struggles with mental illness and over the years he’s developed an outright “addiction to philanthropy” as his elaborate cons offer him the chance to cultivate connection and respect.

  • NOT in It for the MONEY Mark Landis, the Gift Forger
    NOT in it FOR the MONEY Mark Landis, the Gift Forger NOAH CHARNEY AND MATTHEW LEININGER WHITNEY CURTIS PHOTOGRAPH Most known art forgers have turned to forgery for financial, rather than psychological reasons. But money wasn’t a factor in the scheme of Mark Landis – aka Steven Gardiner, aka Father Arthur Scott, aka Father James Brantley and now aka Mark Lanois – when he showed up at Loyola University in New Orleans in February of this year. The interesting thing about his fourth alias that he used at Loyola, is that Landis had presented himself under his given name – Landis – at Loyola 10 years earlier, and had gifted the institution 10 forgeries: all paintings that he had created and passed off as valuable originals. But he accepted no money for these gifts, not even a tax break. His only prize was personal enjoyment in being catered to by the art world while knowing that he had fooled them, that his own works were being accepted into established collections and lauded as Impressionist originals, gifted in his parents’ memories. Mark Landis may be the most famous art forger who has never committed a crime. Landis is a painter and former gallery owner, and a most unusual type of criminal – one who has yet to break a law. When he arrived at the Hilliard University Art Museum at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, driving a large red Cadillac that had belonged to his mother, Jonita Joyce Brantley, formerly of Laurel, Miss., he introduced himself as Father Arthur Scott.
