Precisely 40 years ago this year, the American artist Robert Smithson produced his world-famous work of art Broken Circle/Spiral Hill in Emmen.

Robert Smithson created his 'earthwork' in the sand quarry run by the De Boer company in Emmerschans, near Emmen. From 17 September - 27 November 2011, the Centre for Visual Arts (CBK) in Emmen will be dedicating a major exhibition to this subject. Roel Arkesteijn is curator of the exhibition.

Land Art Contemporary's collaborative efforts have culminated in an exhibition, a video and a publication that expand on Robert Smithson's endeavors in the Netherlands; and a series of contemporary art assignments.
