by Ben Tufnell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
See all formats and editions
An attempt to melt an iceberg with a blowtorch, an indoor lake of tequila, an ascent of Mt Everest, driftwood burnt with sunlight focused through a magnifying glass and a doorbell that emits the sound of a dying star; these are some of the extraordinary artistic strategies covered in this collection. Gathering together texts published since 2002, as well as specially written new essays, In Land traces recent engagements with landscape, nature, environment and the cosmos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artistic headspace - thought provoking and meditative
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 26, 2020

What is Land art? 'In Land' will give newcomers a wonderful introduction, while also providing plenty for the more knowledgeable to consider. Ben Tufnell is a world-renowned authority on the subject and this selection of his highly-readable essays throws light on some of the movement's most important artists and their key works.
He writes from an insider's perspective, being a significant figure in London's art scene — as director of the thriving Parafin gallery — but he also brings an objectivity to his art criticism founded on his deep knowledge and love of the subject.
Give yourself some brain food and award yourself some time to immerse yourself in this lovely book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensitive account of some of the overlooked aspects of Land Art
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2020
Verified Purchase
'In Land' delves into some of the lesser known branches of what could be categorized as Land Art. This is a series of essays written from a personal point of view, often supported by direct interviews. More than anything Ben Tufnell seems to be looking, through his poetic, unpretentious style, for a spiritual experience through art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and exquisitely written

Land and Earth art is as relevant today as it was in the 70s, possibly more so as we figure out our place in this fragile place. If you love this earth, and value concept over commercial, this book is for you. Tufnell captures it beautifully.
