Hamish Fulton (b. 1946) first came to prominence in the late 1960s as part of a distinguished generation of young British artists who were engaged with extending the possibilities of sculpture. Known as a sculptor, photographer, conceptual artist, and land artist, Fulton prefers to characterize himself as a walking artist. His walks have taken him to locations as varied as Japan, the Himalayas, Italy, India, Iceland, and the deserts of Montana, as well as throughout England.This volume, published to accompany an exhibition at Tate Britain in Spring 2002 of new and recent work by Fulton, is lavishly illustrated with an 80-page section of new photographic and text work made by Fulton especially for the book. It also includes an essay by Andrew Wilson tracing the artist's career and influences, an in-depth interview with the artist by the exhibition curator, Ben Tufnell, and contributions by the environmentalist Bill McKibben and mountaineer Doug Scott, whose texts explore issues central to Fulton's art.

An attempt to melt an iceberg with a blowtorch, an indoor lake of tequila, an ascent of Mt Everest, driftwood burnt with sunlight focused 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.

Uncommon Ground proposes a new reading of British art between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, placing landscape and nature at the heart of the emerging avant-garde movements of the period. During a time of seismic cultural and political change, artists on both sides of the Atlantic turned away from the enclosed space of the gallery and went out into the landscape. Encompassing sculpture, performance, photography, film, Minimalism and Conceptual art--particularly the latter--the wide-ranging practices represented in this book engage with the once-derided and seemingly exhausted genre of landscape. Uncommon Ground includes works by Andy Goldsworthy, Anthony McCall, Antony Gormley, Barry Flanagan, Boyle Family, Bruce McLean, David Lamelas, David Nash, David Tremlett, Derek Jarman, Garry Fabian Miller, Hamish Fulton, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Jan Dibbets, John Hilliard, John Latham, Keith Arnatt, Richard Long, Roelof Louw, Roger Ackling, Roger Palmer, Susan Hiller, Thomas Joshua Cooper and Tony Cragg.

In the mid to late 1960s artists on both sides of the Atlantic went out into the landscape to make a new type of art. They created an important global movement—land art—that includes elements of minimalism, photography, performance, sculpture, and conceptual art. Land Art is the first comprehensive overview of the many international manifestations of this type of art, and the philosophical, geographical, and cultural contexts from which it arose. The large-scale works of Robert Smithson, the often delicate and ephemeral structures arranged by Andy Goldsworthy, and the inspired creations of Michael Heizer and Walter De Maria are examined, as well as the work of equally important European artists whose crucial contributions are often overlooked.
