Lorenzo Béatrix

Lorenzo Béatrix is a French writer, researcher, and curator specializing in contemporary art. Based in Paris, he supports a range of projects related to the history of the Earth art and land art movements.

As an independent researcher, Lorenzo focuses on deepening the contextualization of land art and the submovements that emerged alongside or followed it. His recent writings critically examine the work of American artists from the 1960s and 1970s, commonly associated with Earth art or land art. Through collaborations with anthropologists and musicians, Lorenzo aims to recontextualize the significance of land art, considering the temporal and cultural conditions surrounding its creation.

His recent publications and exhibitions have explored the intersection of earth-based artistic practices and the evolution of electronic sound experimentation since the 1960s. Lorenzo is a member of the Land Art Forward Foundation in New York City, and has collaborated with galleries and institutions in France and the U.S.

He recently curated the exhibition of American land art pioneer Alan Sonfist, titled “Songes Telluriques,” in Paris.

Lorenzo holds a B.A. in Art History from McGill University (Montréal, Canada) and has worked as a research assistant in the Contemporary Art Department at McGill University.
