Abstract
"Troublemakers unearths the birth of land art in the late 1960s and early 1970s when a cadre of renegade artists sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the desolate desert landscape of the American southwest.

Today these works, which include Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, Michael Heizer's Double Negative, and Walter De Maria's Lightning Field, continue to astound and amaze us for their breathtaking audacity."

This is a well-executed, comprehensive look at the Land Art movement. It is a very interesting documentary with great footage, both new and old. Given the length, instructors teaching ART 104 may want to curate the parts they show.
