Groundswell (2023)
Exhibition
As for America, this 2023 exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas, USA, gives an impressive overview of no fewer than 12 women artists who created land art. The exhibition and catalog offer a nice source of information for those who want to broaden their view of land art. In that case, be sure to watch the videos of the accompanying symposium, in which experts speak about the resistance of Native Americans, feminism and ecology, among other topics. The panel discussion with five of the artists is particularly worthwhile.
