RICHARD LONG – Landscape Artist

ターナー賞の歩み展でメモしていた RICHARD LONG を
ロンドンに戻ってきた後、
論文のエスキスで先生に紹介されたのでメモしとこ。
1967年の「歩行による線」で注目されて以来、
歩くことで彫刻する作品を発表している作家。
日本だと、東京国際フォーラムの広場 とか
ベネッセ・アートサイト 直島に作品があります。
先生に紹介されて大学のライブラリでみたビデオは、
彼のサハラ砂漠での作品制作の様子を追ったドキュメント。
足を引きずりながら石がごろごろした砂漠に直線を引いたり、
転がっている石を立てて円をつくったり。



　> Richard Long (born June 2, 1945) is an English sculptor,
　> photographer and painter, one of the best known British land artists.
　> His piece Delabole Slate Circle, acquired from the Tate Modern in 1997,
　> is a central piece in Bristol’s main Museum and Art Gallery.
　> Long was born in Camborne, and studied art there
　> at the West of England College of Art from 1962 to 1965,
　> and graduated from St Martin’s School of Art in London in 1968.
　> Several of his works are based around walks that he has made,
　> and as well as land based natural sculpture,
　> he uses the mediums of photography,
　> text and maps of the landscape he has walked over.
　> In his work, often cited as a response to the environments he walked in,
　> sometimes the landscape would be deliberately changed in some way,
　> as in A Line Made by Walking (1967),
　> and sometimes sculptures were made in the landscape from rocks
　> or similar found materials and then photographed.
　> Other pieces consist of photographs or maps of unaltered landscapes
　> accompanied by texts detailing the location and time of the walk it indicates.
