“Nancy Holt: Perspectives” opens tonight
@dunkunsthalle , 64 Fulton Street, New York, 6-8 pm.
Nancy Holt was a key figure in the New York art scene and is internationally recognized as one of the foremost artists in the Earth, Land, and Conceptual Art movements. Her five-decade-long practice included work in art, architecture, and time-based media that consistently examines how we attempt to understand our place in the world. In opposition to other art historical categories, Holt preferred to describe herself as a “perception artist.” Across various media, her work employed systems ranging from the ecological, human, technological, and cosmological, and in ways that affirm our sense of presence and connectivity. Although she is often primarily known for her site-specific installations, such as Sun Tunnels (1973-76), a large-scale work located in the Great Basin Desert, Utah, her films and videos have become landmarks of American experimental cinema and defining features of her legacy.
