This exhibition explores the response of female artists to the natural world in earth works, early eco-feminism and the exploration of the political allegories of landscape in the aftermath of the 1960s Land Art movement. The show features for the first time in our gallery Polish Land Artist Teresa Murak, documents of Brazilian artist Lydia Okumura of her 1972 conceptual earth sculptures, and Babette Mangolte’s American landscape film “The Sky on Location” (1980-82) shot at the time of the Ronald Reagan election. The Green Begins to Show explores artistic production outside the studio walls, and the radically new experimentation, mythologies and forms these artists used to engage with the natural world.

The Green Begins to Show is a first part of a large-scale exhibition project on female Land Art that we will present in 2017 in BROADWAY 1602 HARLEM.
