Land Arts 2025 Exhibition

Texas Tech University Huckabee College of Architecture and Museum of Texas Tech University announce the LAND ARTS 2025 EXHIBITION.

An opening reception will take place from 6-8 p.m. Friday, February 27, 2026, at the Museum of Texas Tech University at 3301 4th Street in Lubbock, Texas.

The exhibition culminates the semester-long transdisciplinary field program Land Arts of the American West presenting works by students Amy Chender, Francess Archer Dunbar, Joey Grimm, Natalie Marshall, Miles Matis-Uzzo, Jennifer Seas, Anika Todd, James Warren, and Dominika Wilk.

Within the Texas Tech University Huckabee College of Architecture, Land Arts is a “semester abroad in our own backyard” where architects, artists, historians, and writers camped for fifty-six nights while traveling 6,051 miles overland to experience major land art monuments—Double Negative, Spiral Jetty, Sun Tunnels, The Lightning Field—while also visiting sites expanding our understanding of what land art might be such as pre-contact archeology of Chaco Canyon, scientific exploration at the Very Large Array, and military-industrial operations in the Great Salt Lake Desert. To negotiate the multivalent meaning of these places and shed light on strategies to aid their comprehension we invited the wisdom of field guests—writers, artists, and interpreters—to join specific portions of our journey. 2025 field guests included Matt Coolidge and Aurora Tang of the Center for Land Use Interpretation, artists Maira Kalman, Dionne Lee, Rob Ray, Deborah Stratman, and Steve Badgett, art historian Ann Reynolds, and Aaron Hegert and Eric Simpson of Tablelands Center for Bioregional Art, among many others. Land Arts hinges on the primacy of first-person experience and the realization that human-land relationships are rarely singular. The Land Arts 2025 Exhibition will continue through 19 April 2026.
