DOWNLOAD EBOOK →While gender has been the subject of extensive critical inquiry, the debate has focused primarily on the human, particularly the female, body. The spaces bodies occupy and the ways in which those spaces are depicted in landscape art has not, however, been subject to investigation. This book is the first sustained attempt to fill this gap in art history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →THE ART OF RICHARD LONG By William Malpas REVISED AND UPDATED, WITH NEW ILLUSTRATIONS The central fact and act of Richard Long's art is walking. His work is founded on the art of walking, the act of walking, the actuality of walking, and on walking as art, as act, as experience. His walks become 'artwalks', artwalks which become artworks. Richard Long is a British land artist and sculptor who works with and in the natural world, but also with and within the highly sophisticated, artificial and humanmade world of art and culture. 'I too wanted to make nature the subject of my work, ' Long explained of his early work, 'but in new ways. I started working outside using natural materials like grass and water, and this evolved into the idea of making a sculpture by walking'. Richard Long is sometimes termed a 'Romantic' sculptor, and part of this book relates his art to British Romanticism, as found in the literature of William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats and others, and the British landscape tradition, as in J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, Thomas Girtin and other landscape painters. Aspects of British Romantic culture in 20th century and 21st century art also considered (such as the 'New Ruralists', 'New Romantics', 'New Arcadians' and 'Neo-Romantics'). Malpas also explore some of the aspects of Romantic culture in Europe as well as Britain. In the course of this book William Malpas references many of Richard Long's contemporary British sculptors (Tony Cragg, Bill Woodrow, David Nash, Barry Flanagan, Alison Wilding, Shirazeh Houshiary, Hamish Fulton, Stephen Cox, Philip King, Anthony Caro, Tim Head, William Tucker, Anish Kapoor, Anthony Gormley, David Mach, and Gilbert & George). Further chapters include: one on women, feminist, body art and performance sculptors, as a comparison with Richard Long's art, which has a strong component of performance (even if it's nearly always private). Also, a consideration of gendered sculpture and art. The chapter on Minimal, Conceptual, Process and other 1960s and post-1960s art and artists, discusses the artists (primarily European and American) who have most in common with Richard Long's art: the great Minimal and land artists, such as Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Dennis Oppenheim, James Turrell and Robert Ryman, and the important Conceptual artists, such as Hans Haacke, Bruce Nauman, Yves Klein and Lawrence Weiner. This book also considers topics such as contemporary and postwar art and sculpture; Richard Long's contemporaries, including fellow British sculptors; and land art. REVIEW ON AMAZON: Very satisfied with this book. It includes not only detailed information about Long's work, but also discusses other related artists, such as Barnett Newman, and other related topics, including sculpture, installation and text in art. All in all a very interesting book. Fully illustrated, with a newly revised text. Bibliography and notes. www.crmoon.com

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Richard Long is one of the leading protagonists of Land Art. He uses the movement of his own body, hiking and walking through the landscape as a criterion and medium for his art. He has been creating outside works for more than 40 years all over the world, In England, Canada, Japan or Bolivia: large stone circles or lines made of wood. Photographs document these transient works. But right from the beginning the artist has also designed works For The museum space. Here as well, sculptures are created with archetypical forms, made of wood or stone: ellipses, lines or circles. The centre and inspiration for this exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof is the eponymous work Berlin Circle. The circle of stone, twelve metres in diametre, laid out on the floor is an important work in the Sammlung Marx and was first unveiled and installed by the artist For The opening of the Hamburger Bahnhof in 1996.'My art is in the nature of things', Long says, referring To The actuality of his works, which as consequent settings of locations on which the nature of things appears in the work, also illustrate questions of the contemporary discourse concerning relationality, performativity, crossing borders And The spatiality of art. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Richard Long: Berlin Circle at Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum f r Gegenwart, Berlin, 26 March - 31 July 2011.
