Anton Ginzburg: Walking the Sea

In Walking the Sea, Anton Ginzburg charts a 26,000-square-mile area between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan known as the Aral Sea. Looking to American Land art of the late 1960s and early 70s, and using film, photographs and sculptures, Ginzburg approaches the waterless sea as a readymade earthwork to make visible a territory and history that remains largely inaccessible.On the occasion of the exhibition “Anton Ginzburg — Terra Corpus” held at Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston, January 18 — March 15, 2014.
