Man on the Land
In Man on the Land, Tyler Stoll reimagines iconic land artist Robert Smithson’s Mirror Displacements, swapping the mirrors with homemade cardbord cutouts of Danny Zuko, played by John Travolta, from the 1978 music film Grease. Installed and photographed during a residency at the Ucross Foundation, a working cattle ranch on the High Plains of Wyoming, these works poke fun at romantic narratives of The American West, “Finding Oneself in Nature.” and the (seemingly masculine) urge to place large rectangular things in the landscape.
