[Subject]: Artists in Nature- International Network

Hello,
I am an artist working on site specific installations mainly in the open air. 
Last December a group of international artists and organizers established a network on Artists in Nature in Hamburg, Germany. This year at 3rd and 4th December we will have the second meeting in Netherlands. The content and design of a website, printed publications and discussions about related topics will be our work. Also we are interested in definition of themes, environmental issues, presentations of grants, exhibitions and symposia (related to NatureArt) and very practical  organisational problems. The extension of information for Africa, Latin-America and Asia is also very important.

For now I would like to ask the members of the Forum: do you know about NatureArt Events, projects of art in/for/with the nature, LandArt symposia, Environmental Art projects etc. in your country? Do you know groups of artists who have already organized this kind of event? Perhaps you know also some institutions working on this theme?
We would like to draw map of planned and ongoing events as well as establishing contacts between groups who are planning NatureArt events. In case you can help us please refer us to them or send their adresses.
I will inform the Forum after the meeting in Netherlands about the result of our work.

Thank you for your help!
