Long Richard, *1945 (Bristol, England) Lives in Bristol, works with photography, Land Art, sculpture, installation and film. Earthquake Circle,1991 Calanca gneiss, 600 cm Ø © Richard Long For his landscape sculptures, Richard Long creates archetypal geometric forms like circles, spirals and lines with natural materials such as stones, driftwood and mud as well as his own footprints. This approach is translated to an indoor context for works like Earthquake Circle, which features plates of sedimentary rock configured into a ring. These sculptural pieces, writes the curator Nancy Spector, "become metaphors for the paths taken on his ramblings: the spirals, circles and lines, if extended beyond the gallery walls, would trace actual distances travelled by the artist. The sculptures are not, therefore, representations of nature per se but rather aesthetic documents of Long's engagement with the land and poetic evocations of the beauty and grandeur of the earth." |

Long Richard, *1945 (Bristol, England) Lives in Bristol, works with photography, Land Art, sculpture, installation and film. Footpath Waterline, a seven-day walk in the "Glärnisch Massiv",1991 Photograph and text, 82 x 112 cm © Richard Long As an extension of his outdoor compositions using natural materials, Richard Long began in the late 1960s to explore the idea of making art by walking: creating landscape sculptures on extended walks, and documenting and describing them with maps, photographs and text works. In the words of the artist, walking as a form of art "provided an ideal means for me to explore relationships between time, distance, geography and measurement.. Walking also enabled me to extend the boundaries of sculpture, which now had the potential to be deconstructed in the space and time of walking long distances. Sculpture could now be about place as well as material and form." |
