Landart

Land Art is a current of contemporary art that uses materials and the natural landscape as a basis for its creations, it seeks to take out art from museums and conventional cultural circuits / spaces. Most Land Art works are provisional or left to the mercy of the natural elements like the rain, the erosion, the wind or any change in the surroundings. The purpose of the Land Art is the indissoluble connection between the work of art and the landscape in which it is placed. The Land art gives an enormous value to the constructive process of the work in front of the final result, giving value to both processes. The artist carries out the recording of the work through photography and video, tools that he uses to immortalize and take his creation to museums, works that would otherwise disappear forever.
