The New Geologic Epoch present works that relate to or comment on geological transformations in the land including commentary on previous works by Earth or Land artists. Featured works reference this evolution leading to our precarious situation today with massive scarring of the planet's surfaces due to mining and the built environment with dams, bridges, roads, and the development of sprawling urban cities. Work that addresses interventions in the land as it relates to soil, rock, minerals, and how water and wind interact with these elements, and especially how colonial extraction has marked and disrupted ecological systems. We are interested in the new dynamics between these alterations with regards to the nonhuman world, vegetal and animal, and the resulting impacts on all life. What are the shifting baselines that over time have become the new normal?
