Amarillo Ramp - Bill Brown & Sabine Gruffat
Screened April 7, 2018.
Competitive Program #3 1:30-2:30pm.
An exploration of sculptor Robert Smithson's final earthwork, 'Amarillo Ramp.’ Employing filmmaking strategies that are both responsive to the artwork's environmental context and informed by Smithson's own art-making strategies, the filmmakers encounter the Ramp as an observatory where human scales of space and time are set against geological and cosmic scales.
