Land Arts 2017

February – April 2018

Land Arts

Land Arts of the American West at Texas Tech is a field program investigating the intersection of geomorphology and human construction. As a semester abroad in our own back yard, the program ventured across the desert southwest camping for forty-eight nights while traveling 5,572 miles overland to explore natural and human forces that shape contemporary landscapes. The exhibition culminates the 2017 field season presenting documents and constructions by Elmer Guerrero Arrieta, Lyza Baum, Caroline Carney, K. Flint, R. Illia Reyes, Nicolle LaMere, and Aida Salán Sierra. The program is directed by Chris Taylor and assisted in the field by Emily Rabinowitz.
