“...New Mexico, with its near mystical natural beauty and vast open spaces, has become a hub of activity. This summer and fall, visitors get to survey a wide swath of new work by this younger generation of artists, which has been brought together in LAND/ART, a festival organized by the 516 ARTS in Albuquerque.” -- The Shifting Nature of Earth Artists, Los Angeles Times

“...a small non-profit contemporary art space in Albuquerque, New Mexico (516 ARTS), quietly launched a six-months-long series of exhibitions examining human relationships to the land... LAND/ART made connections across implied boundaries, rearranging assumptions about how art institutions should be positioned and how they interact, and laying bare some of the assumptions that tend to thwart cooperative programming.” -- Down to Earth, art ltd. magazine, Los Angeles

“What is striking...is the rigor of the work, the energy of artists and scientists contributing to LAND/ART projects in their various forms, the passion of field experience, and the interaction and understanding of environmental phenomena... The vitality of LAND/ART and commitment of (516 ARTS) demonstrate the relevance of art as an accelerator of awareness and education to face contemporary challenges…. The encounter with LAND/ART New Mexico, (presented) a wealth of proliferating intelligent initiatives.” -- Great Experiences: LAND/ART, www.entrepart.com, France

“LAND/ART is a mammoth collaborative endeavor that coincides perfectly with the country’s new “green” awareness. A sprawling series of exhibitions and events... at multiple sites in New Mexico, it was coordinated by...the nonprofit art space 516 ARTS in Albuquerque.” -- The Earth Sublime, Art in America
