Mierle Laderman Ukeles Earthworks by Women in Cities Have Been Less Visible Than Heizers and Smithsons in Remote Locales. That’s Changing.
Art in America Sep 09, 2024
[Mary] Miss belongs to a generation of women who, starting in the 1970s, set out to rethink Land art as an environmentally minded public art form, often sited in cities. They reimagined public space in ambitious, visionary projects that collapsed categories of earthworks, parks, and landscape design to engage natural and human histories—and possible futures. Our shared relationship to the environment “is a very hard story to tell,” Miss told me, but she and other artists found it necessary. “We’re willing to take on these complicated issues,” she said of fellow artists including Mierle Laderman Ukeles and Nancy Holt. “These are not simple things that we’re dealing with. The complexity of environmental issues is absolutely what our life is about these days—how to find a path forward.”
