Land art

Today in our curatorial seminar, we touched upon some artists who want to keep their art work away from galleries and museums. Robert Smithson was an American artist, most famous for his land art. He explored the relationship between a piece of art and it's environment. He wanted to create earth work in specific outdoor locations - that could not be displayed in different spaces, such as art galleries. Spiral Jetty is made from rocks, earth and salt and measures 1,500ft. It is situated in the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA.
 

Nothing to do with land art, but I love this...

I agree with every point she makes, and hope to make art representing this.
