EUROPEAN | LANDART | NETWORK

Art in the landscape can take on many forms and this European initiative will explore some of the consequences of commissioning artists to creating new Land Art works in site specific locations in different European countries.


Our connection with the earth is paramount and art makes a significant contribution to our philosophical and cultural perception of the landscape.

The commissioning of new Land Art works at currently four major arts organisations will provide an opportunity to explore the dialogue between man, art and nature through public interaction and education along with inter-European meetings and symposia.

Although the commissioning of new works of art is the centre piece of the activity, analysis will be made of the impact this intervention will have on the particular space and the contribution art in the landscape can make to sustaining the cultural values of landscape in Europe.

European Landart Network

The European Landart Network (ELAN) is an international project, started in summer 2013, supported by the Culture Programme of the European Union and the Lower Saxony region of Germany. The idea is born in October 2012, when the initiator of the network, the German Springhornhof Foundation, invited Land Art organisations to a Partnercolloquium at Springhornhof. The network is officially founded at August 2013 with four partner organisations from Germany, Italy, Poland and UK. To evolve this network there will be several inter-European meetings and symposia and art projects or programmes in different countries. 

The purpose of the network is to connect and promote Land Art artists, academics, experts, students and organisations of several European countries and will endeavour to increase public visibility of Land Art in rural areas and cultural landscapes. For that we hope to win further Land Art organisations in future.
