Nancy Holt: Mirrors of Light

Nov 26, 2021 – Jan 27, 2022
Solo Exhibition

Holt/Smithson Foundation and Sprüth Magers are delighted to announce the first solo exhibition by Nancy Holt at the Berlin gallery, featuring her iconic installation, Mirrors of Light I (1974). Throughout her practice, Holt was interested in the use of light as a medium, while simultaneously examining it as subject matter in its own right. In this installation, light is a conceptual entity and a physical reality, a practical resource and an aesthetic object. As is the case with the majority of Holt's oeuvre, Mirrors of Light I creates an opportunity for self-examination through the perceptions that arise in the face of her work.

Four Decades of Experiments with Sounds, Images, and Objects

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.
