The Expansion of Landscape as a Genre:
From Working in Studio to in Situ

Abstract:

The separation of nature and art served as a starting point for earth and land artists, allowing them to challenge preconceived oppositions (nature vs. art and land vs. landscape), and to produce artworks that invert and combine the four divergent terms. This article will explore a new conception of landscape as a genre – one that fuses land, landscape, art, and nature to expand into infinite potential.
