Artland USA Atlanta, Georgia to Houston, Texas
We drive through the desert from the mighty Hoover Dam, just outside Las Vegas, to the art town of Marfa. Along the way we stop at Michael Heizer’s earthwork Double Negative; we check out “nose art” on airforce planes near Tucson; we hear about the art of Ansel Adams and Tom Lea; and we find a Prada store in the desert (in fact, it’s an art installation).
The second series of our "art road trip", Artland: USA. From late April to mid-July, hosts Mame McCutchin and Toby Amies drove 15,000 from Miami to Anchorage looking at the best of American art and architecture along the way. Covering 50 cities, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Mount Rushmore, Robert Smithson's earthwork Spiral Jetty in the Great Salt Lake, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, we reveal the life-changing experiences that unfold during their three-month quest to map art along the road in the US.
