Landfall Episode 3: Atmospheres
Release Date:
“If that had been men, doing that for a day, it would have been famous. Everyone would have known about it. But since it was women . . . it’s just gone.” Encounter some of the historically overlooked women of the Land art movement, who often worked in stark opposition to the “plundering of the earth” approach of their male contemporaries. Then leave the macho art world in the dust with a fictional exercise in mediation.
Artists featured in this episode: Judy Chicago, Nancy Holt, Mierle Laderman Ukeles
