Ends of the Earth: Land Art to 1974 is the first major museum exhibition on Land Art. Curated by Philipp Kaiser and Miwon Kwon, the exhibition provides the most comprehensive historical overview of this art movement to date. With nearly 200 works by more than 100 artists from around the globe, it presents this exceptional art practice that emerged in the 1960s with new insight. Land Art artists used the earth as their material and the land as their medium, thus creating works beyond the familiar spatial framework of the art system. The exhibition, however, refutes the "return to nature" cliché and the myth of the "escape from culture"; it demonstrates, rather, how Land Art implicitly and explicitly wrestled with technological, social and political conditions.
