00:00Land art or Earth art, from what the artist would tell me, they were looking for a larger canvas to work on.
00:18And we really thought that the work we were doing was going to end galleries.
00:23There were kind of troublemakers, confusing the marketing. In fact, they didn't have any marketing.
00:30Not only because they were difficult, but also because people were not able to grasp them.
00:36The person I was most interested in was Smithson, mainly because Smithson wrote, and wrote better than most curators wrote.
00:43He seemed to be connected with the dark forces.
00:46His work, his view, his writings, have this apocalyptic nature, almost.
00:53My relationship with Michael Heiser was always rather difficult.
00:56I think he was quite competitive.
00:58And Michael Heiser could be extremely, you might say, temperamental.
01:02They were rivals. They both were into Earth work, so there was a bit of tension between them.
01:08Walter de Maria, it was very secret.
01:11He doesn't want to tell you what is the meaning of the work.
01:14Like Michael, they want you to experience the work.
01:17They want to enter in the work.
01:19The idea of land art is related to the idea of the globe.
01:24Especially after the first picture of the Earth gives you the idea that Earth is an object.
01:30And you can design on it. You can draw.
01:33It's all this kind of convergence of information.
01:37Technology, information, and history that makes land art.
01:42I love when Walter would say, you know, my new brush is a caterpillar.
01:56Or that the earthquakes are the best way of shaping a sculpture, which is the Earth.
02:01And the future, there.
02:06And the future, we have anºC from, give us pretty.
02:09The future, we've accomplished much more.
02:14And the future...
02:15That's a comedy-in-soul country in the US.
02:16Of course, let's get into the last part of the Earth.
