Meticulously constructed out of interviews, photos, and footage of
artists such as Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, and Robert
Smithson, Troublemakers rediscovers the New York–based land artists of the
1960s and 70s who sought to transcend the limitations of reproducible art by
producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the American southwest. The film
is a beautiful tribute to the artists who established this
more-relevant-than-ever genre and stand in marked contrast to the hyperspeculative
contemporary art world of today. (72 mins., DCP)
