A meditation on how environmental change and the passage of time
transform the meaning of site-specific art In the decades after
World War II, artists and designers of the land art movement used
the natural landscape to create monumental site-specific artworks.
Second Site offers a powerful meditation on how environmental
change and the passage of time alter and transform the meanings-and
sometimes appearances-of works created to inhabit a specific place.
James Nisbet offers fresh approaches to well-known artworks by Ant
Farm, Rebecca Belmore, Nancy Holt, Richard Serra, and Robert
Smithson. He also examines the work of less recognized artists such
as Agnes Denes, Bonnie Devine, and herman de vries. Nisbet tracks
the vicissitudes wrought by climate change and urban development on
site-specific artworks, taking readers from the plains of Amarillo,
Texas, to a field of volcanic rock in Mexico City, to abandoned
quarries in Finland. Providing vital perspectives on what it means
to endure in an ecologically volatile world, Second Site challenges
long-held beliefs about the permanency of site-based art, with
implications for the understanding and conservation of artistic
creation and cultural heritage.
