Land Art is an art genre emerged in the 1960s in Europe and America. Instead of creating works for museums and galleries, artists allowed their artworks to interact more directly with the landscape. In Hong Kong, where land problems prevail, many local artists have created artworks that integrate with the unique landscape of our city, and at the same time address local land development and environmental issues.
This exhibition selects land-related art projects by five artists generated in Hong Kong in the past ten years, and explores how they relate to land art projects in the 1960s in terms of form and content, as well as respond to Hong Kong’s unique development context of the 21st Century.
