Nancy Holt / Inside Outside

Nancy Holt (1938–2014) was a central figure in the New York art scene and was an innovator of site-specific installation and the moving image. Across five decades she asked questions about how we might understand our place in the world, investigating perception, systems, and place. 
 
Inside Outside is the most extensive European survey of Holt’s work and is the most ambitious presentation ever of her multifaceted artistic oeuvre. The exhibition includes film, video, photography, concrete poetry, audio works, sculpture and room-sized installations as well as drawings and documentation of her land art. Two of her major site responsive System Works are presented in this exhibition, in their first posthumous iterations, including Ventilation System, a playful sculpture covering several floors, both indoors and outdoors, in dialogue with the architecture of Bildmuseet. 
 
Nancy Holt’s work is held in major collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum für Gegenswartkunst, Germany; Utah Museum of Fine Arts; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Recent exhibitions include Light and Language (2021; Lismore Castle Arts, Ireland), Nancy Holt: Mirrors of Light (2021; Sprüth Magers, Berlin) Sound as Sculpture (2022; The Warehouse, Dallas), Nancy Holt: Between Heaven and Earth (2022; Western Washington University), and Nancy Holt (2018; Dia Art Foundation, New York).
