Watershed Bounding is a collection of work from the practice
of field–based artists who locate their creative process and critical inquiry
in the ecologic conditions of “Place”. Showcased in this exhibition are works
from Land Arts of the American West alumni, faculty, and visiting
artists curated around the theme of Watershed. Alongside this is the
international traveling exhibition, “Boundless Horizons,” which samples work from
partnering field-based art studio programs like Australian National University,
Field Studies and Mira Costa College, Landmarks of Art, from San Diego.
Participating artists include: Amanda Stuart, Amelia
Zaraftis, Bill Gilbert, Heike Qualitz, John Reid, Marzena
Wasikowska, Yoshi Hayashi, Cedra Wood, Chitra Sangtani, Chrissie Orr, Erika
Osborne, Geordie Shepherd, Jeanette Hart-Mann, Lauren Greenwald, Lea Andresson,
Randal Romwalter, Ryan Henel, Eric Cook
Land Arts of the American West (http://landarts.unm.edu/) at
the University of New Mexico, is an ongoing experiment and interdisciplinary
model for creative and critical arts pedagogy based in place. This program puts
students in direct contact with “place” of the American Southwest through Field
Investigations, Research, Creative Production, and Public Presentation/Dissemination
of projects. During the program, students travel extensively throughout the
Southwest for over 60 days, while camping and investigating environmental
sites, human habitation systems, and questions facing the region. Methodologies
include the melding of direct experience, critical research, creative inquiry,
interdisciplinary collaboration, and artistic production. Recent topics of
investigations have focused on issues of the Rio Grande Watershed, US/Mexico
Border, Foodshed, Utopian Architecture, and Eminent Domain.
