RULE Gallery announces Tilted Earth, a 24-hour site-specific exhibition by Denver-based artist Amy Hoagland, presented as the second installment of the gallery's satellite program. Dispersed across the 3-acre terrain of Neu Hinterland in Morrison, Colorado, the exhibition invites visitors to wander and return throughout a complete day-night cycle. Timed to coincide with the summer solstice, this durational encounter with the land offers a chance to slow down and revisit the work as subtle environmental changes—light, shadow, and time—reshape perception and deepen awareness.
Hoagland draws on scientific processes of observation, mapping, and material experimentation. Rooted in sculpture and guided by environmental inquiry, she uses methods of measurement and perception—tracing, modeling, projection—to explore how landscapes hold and transform time. Tilted Earth responds directly to the morphology of the site, integrating sculptural forms in glass, neon, and metal, with materials drawn from the land itself: branches, stones, and root systems.
Rather than imposing form, Hoagland collaborates with the terrain. Structures mirror erosion and create geometric frames through which the environment is refracted. Her works act like investigative tools, responding to the land to cultivate a deeper understanding of our relationship within it. Materials such as scientific glass echo the laboratory, yet are shaped by site-specific behaviors: gravity, wind, decay.
Visitors will encounter interventions dispersed throughout the property—some nestled among grasses or embedded in tree lines, others activated by projection at nightfall. Reflective surfaces and translucent volumes engage the land in visual feedback loops, while subtle changes within each hour affect the experience of the work over time.
By foregrounding temporal rhythms—erosion, accumulation, collapse—Tilted Earth frames the land not as backdrop, but as an active collaborator in both the making and the meaning of the work.

ABOUT NEU HINTERLAND
Neu Hinterland spans nearly three acres in the foothills of the Rockies, offering a sanctuary for artists, spiritual wanderers, nature enthusiasts, and kindred spirits. After nine years nurturing creative community at Hinterland Gallery and Studio Spaces in Denver’s RiNo district, founders Sabin Aell and Randy Rushton found a new home where art meets wilderness.
While the future remains beautifully uncertain, the vision is clear: to create a space where creativity flourishes alongside the natural world. Plans are underway to develop indoor spaces for seminars and retreats—ranging from self-development and spiritual growth programs to hands-on creative skill-building sessions in the metal and wood shop.
During the pandemic, dance performances were integrated into the landscape, revealing how the surrounding beauty becomes part of the artistic experience itself. Here, art spills beyond traditional boundaries—just as Neu Hinterland does across these three acres—inviting exploration, connection, and the kind of magic that happens when creative spirits gather in untamed and raw terrain.
