Land Art Weekend 2021
The Dutch province of Flevoland is home to a unique collection of land art. During the annual Land Art Weekend, we put the spotlight on the nine land art monuments of the polder. This year it takes place on 5 and 6 June 2021. Get some fresh air and discover these inspiring places.
Dates: June 5 and 6, 2021
Time: Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm
Locations: at the nine landscape artworks (addresses)
During the Land Art Weekend, there is a guide at each location who can enthusiastically explain the artwork and answer all your questions. Who made these works of art? And why is there so much land art in Flevoland? Fun assignments are available for children (4+) to explore the artwork and the surrounding area.
There is a lot to listen to at the artworks this year. Land Art Flevoland invited makers from different disciplines to be present on location to tell visitors how the artworks inspire them. What makes a landscape artwork so inspiring for a designer, composer, writer, theater company, musical ensemble, curator and poet? Their stories and audio clips give the artworks an extra dimension. Don't forget to bring your headphones and phone, because most audio tours can be reached via a QR code that you can scan with your phone's camera.

Please note.
The Land Art Weekend takes place annually on the first weekend of June. Makers from different disciplines usually organise activities related to the artworks, such as location theater, performances and concerts. Last year, these activities could not continue due to the pandemic and Land Art Flevoland organised for the first time a "listening weekend", with podcasts presented by Luuk Heezen that could also be listened to at home. Listening is important this year too, but the emphasis is more on listening on location. The measures against the spread of the coronavirus are being released step by step and we expect to be able to receive visitors safely in June at our 'buitendoorstroomlocaties' - of course we adhere to the basic rules (wash your hands, keep your distance, stay at home in case of symptoms) and we ask the same of our visitors.
