Materials such as rocks, sticks, soil and plants are often used and the works exists in the open and are left to change and erode under natural conditions. Beginning this summer and continuing through the fall a group of New Mexico arts organizations have joined together to present, LAND/ART New Mexico, which will explore relationships of land, art and community through exhibitions and lectures.
