Go West, Young Artist

Documentary of the Week | Jan 8, 2016

The documentary Troublemakers: The Story of Land Art explores a group of artists who fled New York City for the American southwest in the 1960s to create earthen works too massive for any gallery. Filmmaker James Crump combines archival footage with new interviews and beautiful cinematography to give fresh perspective on a movement that rejected the idea of art as a commodity.
