Land Art,sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks,is a form of art which involves
using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into the outside
world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s,when American artists began
creating Land Art on a large scale.Today,works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the
world,sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived
thousands of years ago.
Land art,which is not necessarily unchangeable,can take a number of forms.For example,
in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋碼頭) ,made of a collection of stones
and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which
sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common feature of Land Art.It can be created by moving components (組分) around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art,like salt,which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases,Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to evolve (逐步形成),change,and eventually decay (衰落).That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they evolve and decay over time,which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the
artist.
