The ART SAFIENTAL Biennial in the Swiss Safiental is taking place right at this moment until October 23rd, 2022. This year the land art is presented under the theme Learning from the Earth. We had the pleasure to be able to interview the founder of Art Safiental, Johannes Hedinger, who gave us a wonderful overview of the unique location of the Biennial. He also shared with us how Art Safiental has developed in the remote Safien valley over the last 8 years, and where the foundation is headed. This is part 2 of 2.

Land Art, also known as Earth Art, Environmental Art, or Earthworks, is an art movement that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. It was established by a group of pioneering artists who investigated natural sites, alternative modes of artistic production, and ways to circumvent the commercial art system. The art form is largely a North American movement but nowadays can be found all over the world.
