Land Art of the West: Road Tripping in Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico by Marie Bienkowski

About this event

Escape the confines of the gallery and venture into the vast, raw landscapes of the American West. In the 1960s and 70s, a bold group of artists staged a dramatic revolt against the commercialization of the art world, trading cramped studios for the expansive, "empty" horizon. They didn’t just create art; they re-engineered the planet, leasing and transforming acres into monumental, immersive earthworks.

Join us for an electrifying look at these masterpieces, from the salt flats of Utah to the remote deserts of Nevada and New Mexico. We’ll dive into the history, the logistics of these bucket-list pilgrimages, and the enduring power of art that is inextricably bound to the earth itself. Whether you’re an armchair traveler or planning your next great road trip, come ready for a lively discussion on the giants of the Land Art movement.
