Art Land
Issue 36:3 | September 2016
This issue looks at the restorative role of art in rebuilding connections between people and the land. Amidst the wave of writing, thinking and activism coming from our cities and regions, artists across Australia are redefining ideas of practice as land art, expanded forms of landscape art, “eco” and environmental arts to support a diverse range of broadly connective and interdisciplinary outcomes.
