Wander Through a Geometric Field of 448 Sculptures in Jim Denevan’s ‘Self Similar’

For artist Jim Denevan, a paramount element of his creative practice centers on building experiences within landscapes through art and temporary events. Known for his large-scale land works that shape expanses of sand into precise geometries (previously), he allows time, weather, and changing tides to gradually reform the compositions back into natural terrain. Opening today in the capital of the U.A.E., Denevan’s expansive “Self Similar” is part of Manar Abu Dhabi, a new initiative celebrating public art and illuminating the city’s landmarks and vistas with light.

Open-air works of art

Cretto di Burri in Gibellina

Starting from Palermo it takes about an hour to get to Cretto di Burri , the first stop on our journey. Not only an open-air work of art but also a memorial. In fact, we are in Gibellina , destroyed by the earthquake that struck the Belice Valley in 1968 . The ruins left by the catastrophe were the subject of an intervention designed by Alberto Burri . Created between 1985 and 1989 , Burri's Cretto remains one of the most interesting Land Art works on Italian soil.
