Nancy Holt Film & Video Festival
Feb 16 – 17, 2024
Presented in Partnership with the New Mexico Museum of Art
We are proud to partner with the New Mexico Museum of Art to present a special screening event of Nancy Holt's film and video works at the Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe, New Mexico on February 16 – 17, 2024.
This event will include the very first screening of Niagara, a series of studies of water flowing along the Niagara River that Holt filmed in 1975 and was recently digitized. The weekend screening event will also include the influential films Missoula Ranch Locators: Vision Encompassed (1972), Pine Barrens (1975), Sun Tunnels (1978), and the video work Revolve (1977).
The Saturday evening screening will focus on Holt’s close artistic partnership with Robert Smithson through the collaborative video East Coast / West Coast (1969), the short film work Swamp (1971), a screening of Spiral Jetty (1970), and a collection of rarely seen 1971 short films—including Bob with Books showing Smithson reading a tower of books on a New York City rooftop.
This screening event is taking place in conjunction with the inaugural exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Shadow and Light features three works by Nancy Holt that explore the materiality of light and shadow.
Book tickets online via the New Mexico Museum of Art.
