Summary: A collection of essays about Land art, one of the most important artistic movements of our times. An attempt to melt an iceberg with a blowtorch, an indoor lake of tequila, an ascent of Mt Everest, driftwood burnt with sunlight focussed through a magnifying glass and a doorbell that emits the sound of a dying star; these are some of the extraordinary artistic strategies covered in this collection. Gathering together texts published since 2002, as well as specially written new essays, In Land traces recent engagements with landscape, nature, environment and the cosmos through the work of key figures including Richard Long, Giuseppe Penone, David Nash, Nancy Holt, Cai Guo-Qiang and Katie Paterson, amongst others.
