"Holt's work often dealt with cosmic, as well as earthly, matters via concrete poetry, making her an anomaly in the predominantly male Land Art movement."
"The first posthumous installation of Hydra's Head is presented within Goodwood's chalk quarry, following precise instructions left by Holt."
"Ventilation System consists of lengths of ventilation tubing containing air, beginning inside the gallery and extending into the landscape."
"The Holt/Smithson Foundation, founded by Holt in 2018, is dedicated to preserving and extending the creative legacies of Holt and her late husband."
Nancy Holt, a notable figure in the male-dominated Land Art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, is featured in her first major UK exhibition at Goodwood Art Foundation. The exhibition includes her outdoor works, such as the posthumous installation of Hydra's Head, which aligns with the Hydra constellation. Another piece, Ventilation System, extends from the gallery into the landscape. The exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Holt/Smithson Foundation, which aims to preserve Holt's artistic legacy.
