Nancy Holt: Inside/Outside takes a journey through the artist's key
experiments in visual art presenting works never seen before,
commissioning new critical thinking, and amplifying knowledge of an
artist whose ideas are fundamental to how we define art today. Over
the course of fifty years, Nancy Holt's rich output spanned
concrete poetry, audio, film and video, photography, drawings,
room-sized installations, earthworks, and public sculpture. Nancy
Holt: Inside/Outside details her unique and significant
contributions, situating an important female voice within the
narratives of land art and conceptual art. Initiating her art
practice in 1966 with concrete poetry, she soon expanded her ideas
into other media and the landscape. Through each of the mediums she
worked in, Holt explored how we understand our place in the world
by investigating perception and site within and outside of
traditional museum contexts. In the mid-1970s Holt completed her
most influential earthwork, Sun Tunnels, an artwork central to the
definition of land art. Rigorous documentation of Holt's work, as
well as contributions by key scholars, previously unseen photoworks
and drawings, and a revealing, never-before-published
"self-interview" by the artist bring her work into far fuller
context. Developed in close consultation with Holt/Smithson
Foundation, an artist endowed organization dedicated to preserving
and extending the work of Nancy Holt and her husband Robert
Smithson, this expansive publication will serve as a major
contribution to the critical ongoing research into the art of our
time. This new book is published to coincide with an exhibition
anchored at Bildmuseet in Umea, Sweden, and traveling to MACBA
Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona and further internationally.
