This week’s episode is a two-part special all about land art!!

I’m joined by the brilliant art historian Liuka Jonynaite who talks us through two iconic land artists - Walter De Maria and Michael Heizer.

We discuss pushing the boundaries of land art, why its an important movement, what it means to create something which is only ever meant to be temporary, why photography is such an important tool in Land Art and what we can all learn about ourselves from looking at something which is only temporary!

Before we hit record, I had never come across either artist but, since researching and speaking with Liuka, she has inspired me to learn even more about these two interesting Land artists.

Each part of the episode focuses on each artist in particular - the conversation was so good I didn’t want to cut anything out so it's a bumper 2 part episode this week for you all!

Part 1 Liuka and I discuss:

- Walter De Maria Earth Room, Munich, and New York additions

- Walter De Maria Mile Long Drawing

Part 2 Liuka and I discuss:

- Michael Heizer Double Negative

- Michael Heizer Munich Depression and its digital execution in the Whitney Museum of Art Real Size Munich Rotary.

Thank you so much to Liuka for a brilliant and insightful conversation!
