September 22 – December 11, 2010
Columbia University’s Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery opens its exhibition season with Nancy Holt: Sightlines. This traveling exhibition offers an in-depth look at the early projects of this important American artist whose pioneering work falls at the intersection of art, architecture, and time-based media. Since the late 1960s, Nancy Holt has created a far-reaching body of work, including Land Art, films, videos, artist’s books, concrete poetry, site-specific installations, and major sculpture commissions. This exhibition showcases Holt’s transformation of the perception of the landscape through the use of different observational modes in her early films, videos, and related works from 1966 to 1980.
Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 21, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
Regular gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 PM
