BIOGRAPHIES

NANCY HOLT

1938—2014

Nancy Holt (April 5, 1938 – February 8, 2014) was a member of the earth, land,
and conceptual art movements. A pioneer of site-specific installation and the
moving image, Holt recalibrated the limits of art. She expanded the places where
art could be found and embraced the new media of her time. Across five decades
she asked questions about how we might understand our place in the world,
investigating perception, systems, and place.

ROBERT SMITHSON

1938—1973

For over fifty years, Robert Smithson's work and ideas have influenced artists
and thinkers, building the ground from which contemporary art has grown. Born in
New Jersey in 1938, Smithson' early interests in cartography, geology,
prehistory, philosophy, science-fiction, and language spiral through his work.
From his landmark earthworks to his “quasi-minimalist” sculptures, Nonsites,
writings, proposals, collages, drawings, and radical rethinking of
landscape, Smithson's ideas are profoundly urgent for our times.

Holt/Smithson Foundation and Gropius Bau are pleased to announce the most
comprehensive presentation of Nancy Holt in Germany to date. Nancy Holt
(1938–2014) reframed art’s capacity to engage with essential questions
surrounding nature, ecology and the perception of our environment. Over five
decades, her pivotal work encompassed text, poetry, audio, photography, film and
video and land art. She consistently experimented with sound, image, and the
very nature of objects to redraw the boundaries of what art can be and where it
can be found.
