Margit Koller: Expansion in Sculpture – Site-Specific Installation, Environment and the Non-Autonomous Artwork
Margit Koller: Expansion in Sculpture – Site-specific Installation, Environment and the Non-autonomous Artwork Report about my research program in New York, supported by the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation, 2018 September Expansion in Sculpture – Site-specific Installation, Environment and the Non- autonomous Artwork Virginia Dwan and the Dwan Gallery. Dia Art Foundation. MoMA PS1. Dan Flavin Institute and The Donald Judd Foundation. Do Ho Suh: Rubbing/Loving Project. House as Art - Arthouse 1. Introduction I spent one month in New York in September 2018, thanks to the researcher scholarship of Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation. In my workplan my focus was tended onto monumental sculpture, site-specific installation and environmental art, as well as the public sculpture, with the connection between the financial possibilities and artistic freedom. In addition, I always examine the spatial art in the relation of the artwork with its surrounding space and the perceptual skills and possibilities of the viewer. During my stay in New York I was visiting museums, collections, galleries and public parks inside the city and around and in Washington DC, which support site-specific and monumental spatial art in temporary exhibitions or permanent collections (open for the public). I visited loads of colossal and inspiring places, but because of the limit of the report I only write about my most important experiences which are directly connect to both of my research and creative process. (My experiences about the public sculpture could fill another 10-page long report1). As I’m writing my report three weeks after my arriving, the language may mirror my relation to my fresh discoveries, experiences and spontaneous recognitions. -
A Land Art Pioneer's Adventures in Time and Space
A Land Art Pioneer’s Adventures in Time and Space Nearly 50 years after Charles Ross began working on “Star Axis,” the artist’s gargantuan work in the New Mexico desert is nearing completion. By Nancy Hass July 21, 2020, 1:00 p.m. ET THROUGH THE WINTER months, Charles Ross’s existence befits an established New York multimedia artist of a certain vintage: whitewashed SoHo loft with a comfortable studio in the back; a pair of sweet, shaggy dogs that he and his wife, the painter Jill O’Bryan, walk up Wooster Street in the chill, past the wrought iron storefronts that were little more than scrap metal when he first came to the city in the mid- 1960s after studying math and sculpture at the University of California, Berkeley, but now are outposts of Chanel and Dior. Evenings, they may drop into a Chelsea gallery opening or two, then linger over dinner at Omen, the Japanese restaurant that’s been on Thompson Street since the ’80s, nodding to the fellow stalwarts of a downtown scene that long ago ate its young: the 92-year-old portraitist Alex Katz sharing a sake with the Abstract Expressionist David Salle, 67; the musician Laurie Anderson, 73, at the bar, her spiky hair stippled with gray. But come dawn on an April day, when the weather has started to break, such trappings abruptly fall away. A long flight and a bumpy three-hour ride later in the bruised, red-clay encrusted 2004 Dodge Dakota that they usually keep in long-term parking at the Albuquerque airport, Ross and O’Bryan are halfway up a craggy mesa, at the base of “Star Axis,” the 11-story naked-eye observatory made of sandstone, bronze, earth, granite and stainless steel that Ross, one of the last men standing of the generation of so-called earthworks artists, has labored on continuously since he conceived of it in 1971. -

Michael Heizer
MICHAEL HEIZER Michael Heizer, b. 1944 Berkeley, California Artist Michael Heizer is considered one of the original and most prominent “land artists” in the world. His work de- buted at the Dwan Gallery’s influential “Earth Works” show and then at the Galerie Heiner Friedrich, Munich, where he removed 1,000 tons of earth in a conical shape to create Munich Depression. Soon after he created one of his best known sculptures Double Negative on the Mormon Mesa in Nevada. Over the past four decades he has made incredible sculpture and earthworks, often inspired by native american forms, that appear in museums and public spaces worldwide. Prominent exhibitions include Gagosian Gallery, New York; Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany (1979), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, California (1984), and Fondazione Prada, Milan, Italy (1996), the Whitney Museum of Fine Art. His most recent sculpture at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Levitated Mass, is a 21/1 x 21 /12 foot granite boulder installed atop a 456-foot-long trench outside LACMA that people can walk under. The long channel, de- scends to a depth of 15 feet set in a field of polished concrete slices. Since 1970 Heizer has been working on an enormous complex in the desert of Nevada, where he lives. Covering a space approximately one and a quarter miles long and more than a quarter of a mile wide (2 km by 0.4 kml), City is one of the largest sculptures ever created. The sculpture is currently supported by Dia and Lannan Foundation and is not yet open to the public. -

Edited by Nick Tamburri. Cinematography by Alex Themistocleous and Robert O’Haire. Sound Design Gary Gegan and Rick Ash. Written and Directed by James Crump. Troublemakers unearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s. The film features a cadre of renegade New York artists that sought to transcend the limitations of paint- ing and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the desolate desert spaces of the American southwest. Today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out-sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms. -
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.
