Second Site offers a powerful meditation on how environmental change and the passage of time alter and transform the meanings—and sometimes appearances—of works created to inhabit a specific place.  James Nisbet offers fresh approaches to well-known artworks by Ant Farm, Rebecca Belmore, Nancy Holt, Richard Serra, and Robert Smithson. He also examines the work of less recognized artists such as Agnes Denes, Bonnie Devine, and herman de vries. Nisbet tracks the vicissitudes wrought by climate change and urban development on site-specific artworks, taking readers from the plains of Amarillo, Texas, to a field of volcanic rock in Mexico City, to abandoned quarries in Finland.  Providing vital perspectives on what it means to endure in an ecologically volatile world, Second Site challenges long-held beliefs about the permanency of site-based art, with implications for the understanding and conservation of artistic creation and cultural heritage.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740789285137,"sku":"NGR9780691194950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005748117777,"sku":"NIN9780691194950","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691194955.jpg?v=1751041636"},{"product_id":"ecologies-environments-and-energy-systems-in-art-of-the-1960s-and-1970s-book-james-nisbet-9780262026703","title":"Ecologies, Environments, and Energy Systems in Art of the 1960s and 1970s","description":"\u003cb\u003eA fundamentally new view of environmental art that traces a cultural shift toward the unruly complexities of global ecologies.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the American environmental movement emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, ecological perspectives also emerged in art. But ecological artworks were not limited to conventional understandings of environmental art as something that had to be located outdoors or made of organic materials. Created in a range of media, they reflected a widespread reconceptualization of the material world and a sense of the interconnectedness of all things. In this book, James Nisbet investigates the many levels of intersection between ecology and art in the 1960s and 1970s, examining a series of works that served as sensory interfaces to ecological concepts and reflected the shifting notions of ecology during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNisbet first examines practices of land art that sought to revise the relationship of art to the biological world. He explores the all-but-forgotten genre of Environments, founded by Allan Kaprow, which produced both closed environments bounded by the gallery's walls and psychedelic multimedia environments; and he examines the transition between minimalism and land art, considering the planetary visions that cast singular objects within holistic ecosystems--a sensibility that infused such canonical earthworks as Michael Heizer's \u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e and Robert Smithson's \u003ci\u003eSpiral Jetty\u003c\/i\u003e. Nisbet then turns to work informed by the language of energy and the ecological notion that all matter is in process, including Robert Barry's radio wave installations and Simone Forti's performances. Finally, he considers Walter De Maria's \u003ci\u003eThe Lightning Field\u003c\/i\u003e, finding in it a reflection of the conflicts within ecological thinking of the 1970s. Offering a radically new view of environmental art, Nisbet traces a cultural turn from an art that addresses artificially confined environments and simplified allegories of the planet to one that increasingly takes on the unruly complexities of global ecologies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50478551728401,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50478551925009,"sku":"CIN0262026708G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262026708.jpg?v=1750974150"},{"product_id":"siege-of-damascus-book-james-nisbet-9781241574826","title":"The Siege of Damascus","description":"Title: The Siege of Damascus: a historical romance.Publisher: British Library, Historical Print EditionsThe British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom.
