Ibon Aranberri, (Ir. T. n. 513) zuloa, 2007
in progress
(Ir. T. n. 513) zuloa documents an intervention in a site of special scientific interest in which the artist blocked the entrance to a cave, thereby adding new meanings to the local landscape. It was, therefore, a work of land art that was not carried out with the localist aim of preserving the landscape but of recodifying it and creating new collective meanings in it. Ibon Aranberri, an internationally renowned Basque artist, is highly critical of collective interventions in the territory and the landscape. His works are held in public collections such as the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, Artium in Vitoria and the MACBA in Barcelona. The Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona mounted a retrospective of his work in 2011.
