Summary:
Since 1995, Andy Goldsworthy has created a series of artworks in Northwest England in sheepfolds: stone enclosures found across the countryside that have been used for assembling, sheltering, and washing sheep for hundreds of years. After working on and off for more than a decade, he completed thirty-five folds, often rebuilding them in the process; many of them can now once again serve their intended purpose. These form the core of Enclosure: they reflect Goldsworthy’s lifelong interest in the land, its history, and the people who work on it. They are accompanied by a rich collection of ephemeral work related in various ways to sheep, including a spectacular series of large sheep paintings—paintings made by the hoof-prints of sheep.

Summary:
This is the first critical guide to the two hundred most important modern and contemporary art sites around the world. Designed for the international art tourist as a critical reference, "Destination Art" provides an accessible chronological survey of important large-scale and public works of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art. Encompassing land and environmental works, sculpture parks, architectural follies, site-specific installations, and entire towns turned over to the display of art, this book chronicles works that have achieved near-mythical status since they were created. Among the artists included are Henri Matisse, Antoni Gaudí, Jean Tinguely, Constantin Brancusi, James Turrell, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, and Antony Gormley. The book provides visitor information, including hours and admission fees, directions, contact details and websites, and further reading. Fifty art destinations are featured in substantial essays, with accounts of their histories and descriptions of their sites.

Summary:
The Center for land use interpretation is a research-based educational organization that produces public programs about the built landscape of the United States from its sites in Los Angeles, Utah and the Mojave desert, with an upstate New York location opening in 2006. The Center’s aim is to increase and diffuse information about how the nation’s lands are apportioned, utilized and perceived. Recent examples of their work include a two-day "Tour of the monuments of the great American void" by bus and the exhibit "Immersed remains: towns submerged in America". This book takes readers on a tour through the strangely unfamiliar land that Americans live in, demonstrating that we can understand ourselves by examining the clues on display all around us, often clearly visible but ignored. Each chapter explores a different topic, from an in-depth look at Ohio ("the most all-American state"); through scale shifts in model landscapes, exemplified in the three largest hydraulic models in the world; and law-enforcement training environments that "simulate" public space. Readers can dive into the hidden and enchanting world of show caves, where America is on display underground; and come up into the Great Basin, a zone covering most of Nevada, and portions of Utah, California, Oregon, Idaho and Mexico, whose network of watersheds has no outlet to the ocean. Following lines and edges, through cities, suburbs, small towns and wide-open spaces, the Center guides us upstream, toward the heart of another America - the same, but different.

L’acte de construire le plus simple est sûrement de poser deux pierres l’une sur l’autre, ou, pour l’arpenteur des bords de mer, de faire des châteaux de sable. C’est à un retour vers cette joie pure et ces gestes instinctifs de bâtisseur d’éphémère que Tina Bloch, commissaire d’exposition, a convié 34 architectes ou duo d’architectes européens. Sur les plages de Deauville et de Benerville, d’étonnants monuments se sont élevés entre ciel et mer, des mandalas et des labyrinthes à perte de vue ont connu une existence fugace mais intense. À la fois land art et sand painting, les propositions, mûrement élaborées ou improvisées selon l’inspiration de l’instant, sont d’une étonnante diversité. Creuser, édifier, sculpter, mouler, scarifier, ratisser, dessiner, modeler… le sable se prête à toutes les inventions poétiques.Entre deux marées, le photographe Michel Denancé a capturé leur éphémère beauté, mêlant les perspectives à hauteur d’œil et les vues aériennes pour un résultat d’une grande force esthétique.

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:
"The Spiral Jetty Encyclo" draws on Smithson’s writings for encyclopedic entries that bring to light the context of the earthwork and Smithson’s many points of reference in creating it. Visitors and armchair travelers, too, will discover how much significance Smithson placed on regional considerations, his immersion in natural history, his passion for travel, and his ability to use diverse mediums to create a cohesive and lasting work of art. Containing some 220 images, most of them in color, with some historical black and whites, "The Spiral Jetty Encyclo" lets readers explore the construction, connections, and significance of Smithson’s 1,500-foot-long curl into Great Salt Lake, created, in Smithson’s words, of “mud, salt crystals, rocks, water.”
