KOREA - Artworks that are installed in and influenced by nature are called land art. In the late 1970s, the Gaia theory, which regards the Earth as one huge interconnected system, gained traction and helped popularize the idea of the connection between humans, other life forms and the elements. This philosophy inspired land art sculptors such as Smithson, a major figure in land art or "earthworks" to create works that accept the natural attributes of their surroundings and change along with the environments in which they are found. Renowned English land art artist Richard Long, who is holding a solo exhibition at MC Gallery in Cheongdam-dong, southern Seoul later this month, is known for the creations he has made during his walks around the world.
