  • 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.
