What is earth art?

What is not earth art, or what is bad earth art? Sometimes, from the opposite side of things, we can understand it more clearly.

Because of Japan's "Wife after Vietnam War" and "Seto Inland Sea", earth art has changed from an unpopular art school in history to an international popularity. As a result, they began to cross with great fanfare, which was much better than the two-line method in Yuan Longping.

Many people tend to understand it as "cool-looking" things: "Internet celebrities" and "sculptures" which are fun and can be photographed. It is no different from tent hotel and "Chengdu ifs panda ass".

However, there are many things that look cool. For example:

1. Great environmental protection sculptures will always be the cry of Mother Earth.

If all primary school students can talk about environmental protection, it's better for everyone to wash and sleep and sort out the garbage with peace of mind.

Environmental protection may become the theme of some earth arts. But earth art is by no means an environmental protection art, it may protect the environment or destroy it. Extreme environmentalists will not be happy to hear this. But it's true. Refer to the packaging of the representative artist Christopher's The Art of the Wife of the Earth.

If you are afraid of "destroying the environment" and can't tolerate a little environmental damage, then the existence of human beings is the greatest damage to the environment.

2.？ Landscape design is not necessarily earth art.

Similarly, landscape design may become earth art because of its artistry, but most landscapes are just for beauty. (Even many of them are not even beautiful)

3.？ Acousto-optic movie AR, infinite starry glasses, and then skipping with the heartbeat at night.

There is no thought, only the "immersive experience" with cool special effects-that is a tourist experience, not the art of the earth, or even art.

4. Big stacking (stacking chairs together, hoes together, and everything together to form a huge shape)

Ai xx was a contemporary when he was at the Kassel Literature Exhibition 100 1 door in Germany, but what do you think of stacking chairs and hoes behind him?

5. Put the outdated sculptures of the last century outdoors.

For example, the sculpture of Luo Zhongli in Wulong Earth Art Festival, a friend who has been there said: It's really fun.

6. Just introduce the art of famous artists.

Yayoi Kusama pumpkins, with big waves, go to the ground and put them outdoors; This is not earth art, but outdoor sculpture.

7. Imitation, plagiarism and brainless shanzhai

The "Big Oil Bubble" in Karamay, Xinjiang copied Kapoor's Cloud Gate.

"It seems that China is now allowed to steal other people's ideas," artist Kapoor said in a statement. I think we must attach great importance to this matter and hold the responsible person accountable in court. I hope the mayor of Chicago will support my action. Relevant institutions in China should take measures to stop such infringements and fully implement copyright protection. "

8. Design belongs to design and art belongs to art..

See all kinds of old factories, old stables, old pigsty, transformed into new study, new house, new bar, new gallery. This is design, not earth art. ...

9. Just paint the house in color.

In my opinion, these are "a little different" treatments and low-level failures.

10.？ Decadent thoughts that have no thoughts or ideas and remain in the last century.

If Monroe is still used in this era, you can basically use the popular splicing symbols of the revolutionary era.

Written in the Gobi desert of Gansu Province, Children of the Earth is a cliche, like an enlarged version of Yiwu small commodity tourist souvenirs, which has nothing to do with our times.

Then, it introduces a new school of earth art-image art.

Imitation, the English word "simulacre", comes from the Greek word eidolon. Its original intention is to show an image on the one hand and a simulation on the other, that is, to show an image or a "representation" of something. Similar to the "copy" of the real thing, "illusion" is a kind of "non-existence"

Plato realized that language is a kind of "non-existence", and he also realized that "existence" can only be expressed through "non-existence" In this way, "non-existence" becomes a substitute for "existence". Earth Jun, an iconoclastic artist, pointed out that using "non-existence" to identify and strengthen "existence" is an artist's word space, such as space (gap) in haiku. There is no content, but it does exist (realism, effect, semantics). This is the language space of art.

△ iconic masterpiece "Boredom"

Red luminous characters are a major feature of China, which can be seen in every street and alley of the city. They are an absolute, indifferent and unambiguous self-identity, which refuses to be interpreted with more meanings and is a powerful short statement of pragmatists. Boredom reminds people of the truth of life that they can't see directly. The glowing scarlet letter forbids people to think unnecessarily. Under the impact of such contradictions, it has become an existence that cannot be ignored, standing on the top of the mountain.

△ The representative work of the simulacra school, the earth art work "Caoshanhai"

The most famous gardening in Japan is dry mountains and rivers. China used to build gardens and loved to make fake mountains in them. Both China and Japan want to bring the twists and turns of nature and peace into the square inch, and there is no difference in the oriental feelings of loving mountains and rivers. According to the geographical layout of The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the artists Photon and Diwang created 53 grass mountains with a height of 2-4 meters in Pengzhou, Chengdu, which are called "Grass Mountains and Seas".

The construction of Caoshanhai may be the first time in China and even in the world. Soil bearing, high-altitude planting and water mist system, seemingly simple, are actually a combination of various technologies. It transcends the categories of plastic arts and environmental arts, and is a brand-new simulacra art, which provides people with the interaction and experience between mountains. The cultural value of grass and mountains and seas comes from Shan Hai Jing, which reaffirms the expression of Shan Hai Jing.

△ At the same time, Caoshanhai is also the world's first alpine maze.
