QUESTIONS
- In what ways can Dwan Gallery be seen as an East coast parallel of, and /
- r counterpoint to, Ferus Gallery? Do land artists engage with the
mythological identity of the frontiersman with the same degree of consciousness as did the Ferus artists with the equally mythological identity of the macho man?
- Is there more or less room for the presence of female artists in the
earthworks movement than there was in the Ferus gallery?
- How does land art’s straddling of east and west coasts trouble notions of
geographic affiliation/ specificity?
- How does the tension between the rejection of the traditional
commercial New York art world and the contradictory need or desire for its attention and interest plague the work of the land artists? Is this tension ever reconciled?
