Prize-winning critic, curator, and activist Lucy R. Lippard is one of America's most influential writers on contemporary culture, a pioneer in the fields of conceptualism and feminist art. Hailed for "the breadth of her reading and the comprehensiveness with which she considers the things that define place" (New York Times), Lippard now turns her keen eye to the politics of land use and art in an evolving New West.
Working from lived experience in a New Mexico village and inspired by a fascination with gravel pits in the landscape, Lippard weaves a series of fascinating themes—among them mining, land art, adobe building, ruins, Indian land rights, the Old West, tourism, photography, and water—into a tapestry that illuminates the relationship between culture and the land. From threatened Native American sacred sites to the history of uranium mining, Lippard frames a skeptical examination of the "subterranean economy." She also explores the tragic loss of landscape and habitat, grounding her criticism in vital issues that affect us all.
Featuring more than 200 gorgeous color images, Undermining is a must-read for anyone eager to explore a new way of understanding the relationship between art and place in a rapidly shifting society.
