Martha Tuttle in UNTIL THE MOON COMES OVER THE MOUNTAIN
UNTIL THE MOON COMES OVER THE MOUNTAIN is a two-part exhibition that considers material and conceptual approaches to representing landscape and physical earth. While thematically and curatorially related—and united by the title, itself a reference to Lawrence Weiner’s 1994 text-based work—each exhibition will address a variety of formal, personal, and political concerns that play out across their respective spaces in Manhattan and Long Island’s East End.
The presentation features work by pioneering figures of land art alongside contemporary artists redefining one’s relationship to place through a wide range of media and formal approaches—conceptualism and abstraction to documentary and pictorial representation. Eschewing the oftentimes monumental approach of historic land art for a more diverse and intimate scale, the artists in UNTIL THE MOON COMES OVER THE MOUNTAIN examine personal and collective attachments to land.
