Wednesday Writings: Chapter Two

This June we are delighted to share Chapter Two of Wednesday Writings, one of Holt/Smithson Foundation's digital programs. 

During Chapter Two we will focus on writings by Robert Smithson. Every Wednesday in June we will be publishing a text by Smithson to his collection of writings on our website.

Smithson's writings provide an unparalleled vantage into the concepts, influences, and ways of thinking that guided his work. Smithson wrote extensively and published his writings in exhibition catalogs and publications such as Artforum, Harper's Bazaar, Studio International, Arts Magazine, and Avalanche.
