Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape - photography, film and Land Art

‘Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape’ shows the work of 18 artists and photographers spanning 1969 to 2024. The show chronicles how Dartmoor has enchanted these artists, compelling them to respond to its open spaces, ancient woodland and layered traces of human activity through Land Art, photography and film practices.

Artists showing: Fern Leigh Albert, Jo Bradford, Chris Chapman, John Curno, Robert Darch, Siân Davey, Susan Derges, Robin Friend, Ashish Ghadiali, Alex Hartley, Nancy Holt, Laura Hopes and Katharine Earnshaw, Richard Long, Garry Fabian Miller, James Ravilious, Tanoa Sasraku, David Spero, Nicholas J R White, Marie Yates

Dartmoor exists in the cultural imagination as a place of freedom and wilderness, but it is also a contested landscape and a microcosm of urgent issues facing Britain today. Concerns about the interconnected ecological crisis and climate breakdown, as well as who has access to the land, are explored by artists through collaborations with climate scientists, protestors and other experts. The artworks shown offer new ways of appreciating and understanding Dartmoor’s special landscape through time and consider its future.

Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape shows at the RAMM from 19 October 2024 to 23 February 2025. There is an extensive events programme of talks and workshops alongside the exhibition.
