Everything about Double Negative Artwork totally explained
Double Negative is a piece of
earth art located on the Mormon Mesa (or Virgin River Mesa) near
Overton,
Nevada (also known as
Moapa Valley), completed in 1969 by the artist
Michael Heizer.
The work consists of a long trench in the earth, wide, deep, and long, created by the displacement of 240,000 tons of earth. Two trenches straddle either side of a natural canyon (into which the excavated material was dumped). The "negative" in the title thus refers in part to both the natural and man-made
negative space that constitutes the work. The work essentially consists of what isn't there—what has been displaced—and thus encourages inquiry into how creating empty space can constitute art.
The work is currently owned by The
Museum of Contemporary Art,
Los Angeles (MOCA) and is accessible by
four-wheel drive vehicle.
