"The film that lends its image to this month’s cover story – Jordan Wolfson’s Landscape for Fire, 2007 – was featured in the Latitudes-curated film programme A Stake in the Mud, A Hole in the Reel. Land Art’s Expanded Field 1968–2008, which premiered in April 2008 at the Museo Tamayo, Mexico City, before touring several venues in Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the U.K.
Landscape for Fire responded to a 1972 film of the same name by Anthony McCall in which the British artist, best known for his “solid light” works,
attempted to integrate performance, installation, sculpture and images
in movement. Thirty-five years on, Jordan had re-staged this work of the
past as though it were a ritual, the repetition of which invoked the
almost mystical aura that often surrounds the art of the late 1960s and
early 1970s." Continue reading by clicking the grey bar underneath the image
