Land Art


        Land art was developed in the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. Most land art projects were developed in America. Land art has similarities to sustainable design since both fields directly show their primary artworks by using our environment and sometimes natural materials. Many ideas in land art are taken from conceptual art and minimalism. Land art uses the natural environment and our environmental awareness as tools for its art. Another similarity to social sustainability in art is that the works are usually displayed in locations that are not galleries. This can lead to monumental work within a landscape, which may be done as an SEA project in our local community. It can also be done in a remote area inaccessible or away from our local urban society. Though less common, it can also be created inside a gallery space and show the connection to our landscape through using sustainable design materials and constructing sculpture and installation with community-based projects. Wherever the location is, whether it is outdoors or in community areas, land art honors the specific site it is created in. 

Questions:

How do you conserve and restore our environment into meaningful and thoughtful Land Art to present to the audiences?

Does Social Sustainability Project can be made in a rural environment just like Land Art?
