More land art & new music

In between the constant exam-based reading, I have managed to fit in a quick read of Michael Lailach's "Land Art" - one of those small Taschen guides to art movements. And I have started on Richard Long's book "Walking the Line". Whether it is just that I am working so hard at the moment or not, I have really caught the land art bug again.

A few weeks back I talked briefly about the 10,000 hours to acquire expertise as suggested by the book Outliers. I suspect that this extends to land artists. But I am tempted by the idea of making something like a Richard Long work. Hopefully one week soon after my exams, I will manage a few days away in the Lake District wild camping - maybe then I could have a go at doing a little art.

Some new music featuring heavily as I work at the moment - various albums by Ash Ra Tempel, the German band mainly active during the 1970s. I can't believe that there first album is so good - that and an album called "heavy Water" from the late 1970s. Tremendous stuff.

And someone has unloaded a dozen Peel shows from 1967 to 1984 on one of the website I regularly find intersting stuff on - so that should be a real treat as well.

But now more land art - as the pictures are so good!

I have the feeling this is a Goldsworthy piece

And these definitely are Goldsworthy



And this might be Goldsworthy too
