Nancy Holt is an artist who recalibrated what art can be and where it can be found. Across five
decades she deployed a careful understanding of what it is to perceive asking that we look
beyond what we think we know. This publication takes a journey through Holt's work paying
particular attention to her investigations into the structures that we humans use as we attempt
to understand our place on the surface of our planet. Touching on a rich artistic practice that
spanned from 1966 to 2014 the catalog looks at her experiments with language audio location
light and infrastructures of the built environment. Holt issues a call to pause observe and
rethink structures forming our assumptions of the surrounding world. She repeatedly asks a
simple question: what do you see? Text: Lisa LeFeuvre Laura McLean-Ferris Julian
