Since the emergence of Land Art in the late 1960s, a number of artists have explored unconventional sites as a potential venue for their artworks, questioning the nature of art creation, exhibition and its relation to land. As these artists and their ambitious Land Art projects continue to inspire many artists today, this thesis will explore how influential artists such as New York minimalist Donald Judd (1928-1994) and, later on, California conceptual artist, Andrea Zittel (1965), evolved the idea of a "desert utopia" incorporating their concepts and artistic motivations into the desert landscape and natural environment. Divided in four parts, this thesis begins with a review of theoretical approaches of Land Artists and how they incorporate landscape in their art practice. Chapter two will investigate the revitalization of a small West Texas town, Marfa, rediscovered through the work of visionary artist Donald Judd, and later transformed by patrons and contemporary artists into a thriving community and art destination. Chapter three will explore how pioneering artist, Andrea Zittel, created a model utopian community in Joshua Tree (California), followed by other artists and creative entrepreneurs, who play a prominent role in revitalizing and nurturing the growing community. In both Marfa and Joshua Tree, what started as a single artist's artistic expressions and singular vision became the creation of utopian art communities that evolved, in both places, into new frontiers of contemporary art. Marfa and Joshua Tree represent two different models of art ecosystem, community development and economic growth. Despite their differences, each place tells a fascinating story on how art can help to regenerate a community. This research will show correlations and contrasts between Marfa and Joshua Tree's artistic and cultural landscape, as well as their transformation through the arts.
