"Nancy Holt is best known for Sun Tunnels, her 1976 work installed in the Utah desert, where four concrete cylinders align with the movements of the cosmos."
"A small sheet of paper in the exhibition features a concrete poem, MOONSUNSTAR EARTHSKYWATER, which reflects concerns that stayed with Holt across every medium she used for over 40 years."
"Circles appear frequently throughout Holt's work, serving as framing devices that link to her interest in systems in the skies, on Earth, and in life."
"An installation of ventilation pipes extends from the gallery into the landscape, representing systems we take for granted, like the air we breathe."
