Holt/Smithson Foundation, in collaboration with the Farnsworth Art Museum, is pleased to announce Joan Jonas: An Island Departure, with Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson, an exhibition presenting a newly commissioned body of work by artist Joan Jonas (born 1936). The exhibition will be on view from October 4, 2025 through February 2026.

In May of 2025 we shared our first series of Thursday Thoughts—a weekly series publishing interviews with Robert Smithson or Nancy Holt to our website. Interviews with Holt and Smithson provide a distinct vantage into their artistic process and the evolution of their thoughts throughout time.

We are delighted to announce that Land Art Contemporary and DIEP will organize a series of bus excursions to visit Robert Smithson's Broken Circle/Spiral Hill (1971) in 2025 and 2026. 

Opening on April 12 in Chicago is the exhibition Know at Bodenrader, which features Nancy Holt's 1969 concrete poem Hammond and her 1973 grommet work Untitled . On view alongside with these two works by Holt is a hand-bound artist book by Hanne Darboven from the collection of Holt/Smithson Foundation.

Join us this weekend at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, for a performative gathering with artist Maria Hupfield, guest curator Lisa Le Feuvre, and multimedia artist and scholar Mikinaak Migwans to call upon the artists and ancestors who surround Nancy Holt’s and Maria Hupfield’s artistic practices.

We are happy to share that Robert Smithson's film Spiral Jetty (1970) is currently on view at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany. This marks the first time that the recently completed high-resolution scan of Spiral Jetty has been shown in Europe. The film was digitized from the original 16mm film in 2024 by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, following the gift of this material by Holt/Smithson Foundation.
