Course Catalog Description:
Historical development of land, earth, and environmental art since 1968. Artists' engagement with environmental problems. Responses to changing aesthetic, political, biological, economic, agricultural, technological, and climactic conditions from global perspective.
Class Description:
In this course we will examine the international movements loosely grouped under the names Land Art, Earth Art, and (more commonly today) Environmental Art. We will trace the historical development of these movements from 1968, when the first exhibition of such art, called "Earthworks," took place at the Dwan Gallery in New York, up to the present day. The course tracks the changing aesthetic, political, biological, economic, agricultural, technological, and climatic forces that influenced such art, from the anti-institutionalism and participatory approaches of the 1960s to the more activist artistic engagement with environmentalism and globalization today. The class takes up two primary concerns: understanding the historical and scientific conditions that have given rise to such art, and understanding the ways in which artists have sought to intervene in and affect a changing environment. Classes are structured around course readings, lectures, and discussions.
