10. Art form, developed in the 20th century, that involves or encompasses the spectator. The
environmental sculptor can use any medium, from mud and stone to light and sound.
Indoor environmental works often incorporate sculptural figures in detailed settings in
gallery or museum spaces. Outdoor works in natural or urban settings include
“earthworks” (large-scale alterations of the Earth's surface effected by earth-moving
equipment) such as Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970), a rock-and-dirt spiral 1,500
feet long in the Great Salt Lake. The wrapped buildings of Christo are notable urban
environmental works.
