Hi Peter and all,
curious to know more about of whom you write:
>It really doesn't figure at all in British
>Land Art (despite the successful drawing on a local tradition)
I don't much about Brit Land Art but would put Andy (calendar pic)
Goldsmith and Richard (sustain that outdoor pose) Long firmly in
the autumnal bracken, at least in comparison with Robert Smithson
(perhaps Dennis Oppenheim and Walter de Maria). Long was cute to
start with but now bores. Who are you thinking of? Maybe you've
stepped sideways into Lloyd Gibson's up and coming Smart Metal
Alloys sculpture or Stefan Gec's 'buoy', both of which gorgeous
projects though, seem extraordinarily tied to elegaic sensibilities.
But then Lacan has given us all such a stranglehold from the
self-ironising distances of the elegaic that it's hard to write
anything without nostalgia breaking out for the word preceding the
one that one's currently writing.
o drama, o ruthlessness !
love and love
cris
