Note: Contemporary works of art, usually outdoors and on a grand scale, that surround or involve the participation of the viewer and that especially exploit or incorporate aspects of their sites. For such works that specifically manipulate the land itself, use "earthworks (sculpture)." For indoor installations that create surroundings that can be entered by the viewer, use "environments (sculpture)." For sculpture that is designed to be placed outdoors but is not especially site-specific, use "outdoor sculpture." For art that utilizes natural physical forces, biological organisms and processes, and performance to illustrate, question, and explain ecological and environmental issues, use "ecological art."

Dutch ..... 20e-eeuwse kunstwerken, meestal in de open lucht en op grote schaal, die de toeschouwer omringen of erbij betrekken, en vooral de natuurlijke kenmerken van de locatie benutten. Voor soortgelijke werken die het land zelf gebruiken wordt 'earthworks' gebruikt. Voor inrichtingen binnenshuis waar de toeschouwer naar binnen kan gaan wordt 'environments' gebruikt. Voor beeldhouwwerken die zijn ontworpen om buiten te worden geplaatst maar niet locatie-gebonden zijn, gebruik 'openluchtsculpturen'. Voor kunstwerken die natuurlijke fysische krachten, biologische organismen en processen benutten en het medium performance om ecologische en milieu-kwesties te illustreren, ter discussie te stellen en uit te leggen, gebruik 'ecologische kunst'. 
Portuguese ..... Obras de arte contemporâneas, geralmente ao ar livre e em grande escala, que envolvem ou envolvem a participação do espectador e que exploram ou incorporam especialmente aspectos de seus sites.

Para arte que utiliza forças físicas naturais, organismos e processos biológicos e desempenho para ilustrar, questionar e explicar questões ecológicas e ambientais, use "arte ecológica".
