  • Gagosian Gallery
    The Financial Times October 26, 2012 GAGOSIAN GALLERY All the world’s a gallery: The first major museum survey of ‘ land art’ gives evidence of its undiminished power – even when viewed indoors By Jane Ure-Smith ‘Spiral Jetty' (1970), Robert Smithson’s installation on the Great Salt Lake in Utah, pictured in 2008. Isolation is the essence of land art,” wrote Walter De Maria in 1980, three years after completing his most famous work “The Lightning Field”. Comprising 400 polished steel poles placed at precise 220ft intervals on a grid measuring one mile by one kilometre (and six metres), the work is an exemplar of an era when US artists went beyond the white cube of the gallery to create monumental sculpture in the great outdoors. Earlier this month I went to New Mexico to see it and, following De Maria’s prescription that the work “be viewed alone or in the company of a very small number of people over at least a 24- hour period”, I spent the night in the log cabin adjacent to the field. I wasn’t expecting lightning: summer is when the storms scud across this arid high plain. It was enough to wander the scrubby landscape, inspecting ant hills, and to breathe in the immensity of the place. At dawn and dusk the poles light up and seem to stake out the territory’s vastness. Thirty-five years after it was unveiled, “The Lightning Field” still draws visitors from across the globe, if anything in greater numbers than before. And this year, land art is back on the agenda in other places too.

Locators, as she called them—vertical, steel pipe installations Holes of Light (1973) and Mirrors of Light I (1974) are pivotal to proposing a participatory experience in these early works, the circle is sculptures of varying heights with welded crosspieces through which one may understanding her ideas concerning perceptual experience. Profound in scale and actuated, and Holt’s ideas on the concretization of perception—focus, light, look—focused perspective on a detail of Holt’s daily environment. She secured involving rigorous calculations, both works are architectonic structures in which and space—are revealed. Immediately upon realizing Holes of Light and the Locators to the floor and windowsills, positioning them to direct one’s interior projected light is channeled within a complex spatial experience.

While seemingly simple in execution, directionality and shadow, while Mirrors of Light I utilizes circular mirrors and expanse of Utah’s Great Basin Desert. With Sun Tunnels, Holt looked above this act of using industrial plumbing pipes to shape one’s visual perspective rays of light to examine the laws of reflection.

    INTRODUCTION SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION DEFINITION “Site-specific art is artwork created to exist in a certain place. Typically, the artist takes the location into account while planning and creating the artwork. The actual term was promoted and refined by Californian artist Robert Irwin, but it was actually first used in the mid-1970s by young sculptors, such as Patricia Johanson, Dennis Oppenheim, and Athena Tacha, who had started executing public commissions for large urban sites.” - Wikipedia DEFINITION Site-specific or Environmental art refers to an artist's intervention in a specific locale, creating a work that is integrated with its surroundings and that explores its relationship to the topography of its locale, whether indoors or out, urban, desert, marine, or otherwise. - Guggenheim Museum PATRICIA JOHANSON Johanson is an artist known for her large-scale art projects that create aesthetic and practical habitats for humans and wildlife.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 13: Sculpture
    Chapter 13: Sculpture One of the oldest and most enduring of all the arts. Sculptures uses the visual elements of actual space and actual texture. There are three forms of sculptural space: • relief • in the round Elements, • as an environment Each type of sculpture employs two basic processes: either an additive Forms, and process or a subtractive process. • Subtractive Process: begins with a mass of material larger than the Types finished work, and removes material, or subtracts from that mass until the work achieves its finished form. • Additive Process: the sculptor builds the work, adding material as the work proceeds. Types of Sculpture Additive • Modeling • Assemblage (construction) • Earthworks Subtractive • Carving • Earthworks Sarah Sze, Triple Point Pendulum, 2013 This is an example of an additive work. Sze is known for densely arranged groupings of objects. She says “Improvisation is crucial. I want the work to be sort of an experience of something alive- to have this feeling that it was improvised, that way you can see decisions happening on site, the way you see a live sports event, the way you hear jazz.” A relief is a sculpture that has three dimensional depth but is meant to be seen from only one side. It is frontal- meant to be viewed from the front. It’s often used to decorate architecture. Relief There are two categories of relief: Low Relief: the depth is very shallow (extends less than 180 degrees from the base) High Relief: project forward from their base by at least half their depth LOW RELIEF SCULPTURE Title: Senwosret I led by Atum to Amun-Re Artist: n/a Date: c.

    For Immediate Release September 27, 2019 Dia to Present an Exhibition of Rarely Seen Works on Paper by Marian Zazeela Opening October 5, 2019 Marian Zazeela, 22 – 28 VIII 75, 1975. © Marian Zazeela. Photo: Bill Jacobson Studio, New York, courtesy Dia Art Foundation, New York New York – September 27, 2019 – This fall, Dia Art Foundation presents an exhibition at Dia:Beacon, Beacon, New York, of works on paper by renowned multidisciplinary artist Marian Zazeela. Since 1962 Zazeela has worked with her long-time collaborator, La Monte Young, on large-scale installations in sound and light. While Zazeela’s sculptures and light design have become well known, her works on paper have remained decidedly less so. This presentation features approximately thirty works on paper dating from 1962 to 1990, which showcase the range of materials and motifs that stem from the artist’s deep interest in calligraphy and ornamental forms, and link her divergent practices. The exhibition, which marks only the second solo presentation to date of Zazeela’s works on paper, opens on October 5, 2019, and will be on view through May 2021. The works on view at Dia:Beacon advance what Zazeela terms “borderline art”—work that challenges the hierarchical distinction between decorative and fine art by using ornamentation in the fine art tradition and using borders as content in themselves. On visits to Morocco at the beginning of her artistic career in 1959, Zazeela was inspired by the Arabic lettering on marketplace signs. Building upon this early interest in calligraphy, she began to borrow forms from cursive writing and vary them to create new patterns.
