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. \u003cem\u003eNancy Holt: Inside\/Outside\u003c\/em\u003e details her unique and significant contributions, situating an important female voice within the narratives of land and conceptual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitiating her art practice in 1966 with concrete poetry, she soon expanded her ideas into the landscape, large-scale installations, audio, video, and film. Through each medium, she explored how we understand our place in the world by investigating perception, both natural and human systems, and site within and outside of traditional museum contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1970s, Holt completed her most influential earthwork, \u003cem\u003eSun Tunnels\u003c\/em\u003e, an artwork central to the definition of land art. Bringing the stars down to earth, \u003cem\u003eSun Tunnels\u003c\/em\u003e focuses attention on the systems of the universe. Holt was equally interested in the built environment as she was in natural and celestial landscapes, and from the 1980s she made invisible architectural systems visible in ambitious installations that exposed the inner workings of buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRigorous 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455661752556,"sku":"9781580935975","price":77.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/71B8xXw8quL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774790122"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/katarina-pierre.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
