Nancy Holt. Stone Enclosure: Rock Rings
This volume takes a long look at a single artwork Stone Enclosure: Rock Rings (1977?78) by the American artist Nancy Holt (1938?2014). A significant work among many in the prestigious outdoor collection at Western Washington University, it has stood for over four decades in Bellingham, Washington. As Holt?s first permanently public work, it has appeared in many discussions on the artist?s earthworks, but it has never been at the center of them until now. 0Published in tandem with the exhibition Nancy Holt: Between Heaven and Earth (January 13, 2022?May 7, 2022) at the Western Gallery at Western Washington University and curated by Barbara L. Miller, this book examines Holt?s sculpture and practice through multiple perspectives including art historical essays, poetic memoir, interviews, archival documentation, and the artist?s own exposition in writing and images.
Overlay
The author reveals a continuum in materials, forms, symbols and imagery artists have employed over 1000s of years. She shows how contemporary art and prehistoric images are linked, with images of past times being 'overlaid' onto works of today's artists.
Why We Kill
Infanticide, serial killings, war, terrorism, abortion, honour killings, euthanasia, suicide bombings and genocide; all involve taking of life. Put most simply, all involve killing one or more other people. Yet cultural context influences heavily how one perceives all of these, and indeed, some readers of this paragraph may already have thought: 'But surely that doesn't belong with those others, that's not really killing.' Why We Kill examines violence in many of its manifestations, exploring how culture plays a role in people's understanding of violent action. From the first chapter, which tries to understand multiple forms of domestic homicide including infanticide, filicide, spousal homicide and honour killings, to the final chapter's bone-chilling account of the massacre at Murambi in Rwanda, this fascinating book makes compelling reading.
Afterimage
The term "process art" describes a moment of radical, a formal experimentation in postwar American sculpture. Through the medium of drawing, Afterimage revisits process art in terms of the artists who defined the movement and suggests a transitional moment when many of its practitioners anticipated the feminist and postminimalist art of the 1970s. Nancy Grossman's use of language, for example, suggests a kind of material abstraction, and Nancy Holt's earth works and related drawings introduced content into a minimalist vocabulary. The book also explores the drawing as a residual object in works in which the process of making dictates the form of the drawing. Examples include Gordon Matta-Cla...
