/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today, on August 25, Narekatsi Cultural Centre of
Yerevan will open a photo exhibition titled "Art For Nature – Land
Art". Exhibition will present photos by Armenian and foreign young
artists. By the invitation of Integration NGO, authors have traveled
throughout Armenia, creating a land art of their own, i.e. compositions
made up of natural substances (stones, flowers, leaves etc.).

A relative new trend, land art came into existence in the United
States during the 6th decade of last year. Over the short period
of its existence, it acquired many worshippers and followers. Land
art was first introduced to American society in 1968 in New York,
during a series of exhibitions devoted to the new trend which aims
to create pieces of art based exclusively on the gifts of nature.
