The Various Virtues and One Fatal Flaw of Three Art Shows
If you ask someone what they think makes art so special, they are likely to tell you that it is the creative aspect and the sensual aspect of art that makes it so special. This is true and makes sense too but one of the things that makes art so wonderful to so many according to us, is the fact that it has no limits or limitations. We don’t know whether you agree with us or not, but we are planning to make a convincing case of this point in this article. In this article, we are going to be talking about art that is larger than life in the sense that instead of limiting itself to a canvas or a particular material it is using land or natural features to showcase the creativity of the artist. We are talking about land art installations in this article. It is only when you look at these stunning land art installations will you realize that these are immense works of art that seem to own the land on which they have been made without dominating them. This is probably due to the fact that the land is part of the art as much as the art is part of the land and one could not imagine one without the other once one has seen it.

Slow Lens is the newest piece from French artist Vincent Leroy, who often explores optics and light in his large-scale installation work. The piece is suspended from above, and a network of curved, translucent lenses distorts the viewer’s perspective. Displayed en plein air, the connected lenses slowly rotate and ofter multiplied visions of the surrounding environment. Leroy installed and documented Slow Lens in various locations around Paris, including in highway lanes that were vacant due to pollution-induced city traffic restrictions. More

Knoxville, Tennessee-born artist Serra Victoria Bothwell Fels ruptures long-held conceptions that human environments are stable—literally. Part of two different projects at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Bothwell Fels creates ridge- and mountain-like installations that split and burst through the floorboards, sometimes even spanning multiple rooms. With lighter pigmented tops, the wood pieces swell and expand, solidifying their resemblance to natural features. The artist’s goal is to transform mundane spaces into areas of disruption, forcing her viewers to question how their environments inform their senses of reality. More
