Summary:
In the decades after World War II, artists and designers of the land art movement used the natural landscape to create monumental site-specific artworks. Second Site offers a powerful meditation on how environmental change and the passage of time alter and transform the meanings—and sometimes appearances—of works created to inhabit a specific place.

Summary:
In the decades after World War II, artists and designers of the land art movement used the natural landscape to create monumental site-specific artworks. Second Site offers a powerful meditation on how environmental change and the passage of time alter and transform the meanings—and sometimes appearances—of works created to inhabit a specific place. James Nisbet offers fresh approaches to well-known artworks by Ant Farm, Rebecca Belmore, Nancy Holt, Richard Serra, and Robert Smithson. He also examines the work of less recognized artists such as Agnes Denes, Bonnie Devine, and herman de vries. Nisbet tracks the vicissitudes wrought by climate change and urban development on site-specific artworks, taking readers from the plains of Amarillo, Texas, to a field of volcanic rock in Mexico City, to abandoned quarries in Finland.

Summary:
Un voyage au bout de la nuit de l'écologie conceptuelle, doublé de la promesse du jour d'une écologie sensible : telle est la « photosynthèse » à laquelle nous invite James Nisbet à propos du Lightning Field, œuvre maîtresse du discret Walter De Maria. Car une fois intégrés le protocole de visite (imposé par l'artiste et la Dia Art Foundation) puis la fascination suscitée(...)

Un voyage au bout de la nuit de l'écologie conceptuelle, doublé de la promesse du jour d'une écologie sensible : telle est la « photosynthèse » à laquelle nous invite James Nisbet à propos du Lightning Field, œuvre maîtresse du discret Walter De Maria. Car une fois intégrés le protocole de visite (imposé par l'artiste et la Dia Art Foundation) puis la fascination suscitée par les six clichés autorisés, le fait est qu'on en sait très peu sur cette œuvre située aux confins du land art, de l'art conceptuel et du Nouveau-Mexique. C'est pourquoi, à la croisée de la cybernétique, de l'entropie et de l'environnementalisme, le chercheur dévoile ce « bref moment dans l'histoire de la photo-énergie » en l'inscrivant dans l'histoire de l'art américain.

Summary:
As the American environmental movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, ecological perspectives also emerged in art. But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials. Created in a range of media, they reflected a widespread reconceptualization of the(...)

Summary:
As the American environmental movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, ecological perspectives also emerged in art. But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials. Created in a range of media, they reflected a widespread reconceptualization of the material world and a sense of the interconnectedness of all things. In this book, James Nisbet investigates the many levels of intersection between ecology and art in the 1960s and 1970s, examining a series of works that served as sensory interfaces to ecological concepts and reflected the shifting notions of ecology during the period.
