This collage uses photographs from the first presentation of Nancy Holt's Crossed Locators in the group exhibition Recent Work  at 10 Bleecker Street in New York. Combing the images with text, here she sets the protocols for the artwork, enabling the sculpture to be exhibited in other locations. Crossed Locators comprises four Locators arranged in two pairs across the room. Looking inward, each pair focuses on the Locator opposite it. Looking outward, they frame a series of focal points: a circular hole cut into a boarded-up window exposing bars and a brick wall; a wall of peeling paint with a circle outlined in chalk; a circular mirror; and a view of people walking on the street outside. Holt also presented the audio work Visual Sound Zone: A Corner of 10 Bleecker Street in this exhibition.
