PROJECTS - 2016
VIDEO, PERFORMANCE AND TIME-BASED PROJECTS
Land Arts of the American West provides a unique opportunity for participating artists to experience the Southwestern bioregion, environment, and communities through one-on-one experiential processes while working individually and collaboratively on creative embodied projects, research, and artistic experiments. In 2016, artists engaged in a wide variety of topics through interdisciplinary creative approaches. These included: ghost water/water rights, more-than-human kinship, eco-critical creativity, sustainability/bioremediation, life cycles, nature + poetry, and environmental justice. The following are video, performance, and time-based works by these artists.
