About
With Circles of Light, the Gropius Bau will be showing the artist's most comprehensive overview exhibition in Germany to date from March 2024. The exhibition includes, among other things, film, video, photography, sound works, concrete poetry, sculptures and expansive installations as well as drawings and documentation from over 25 years.
In her practice, Nancy Holt reimagined site-specific installations and working with natural and artificial light. She addressed ecological aspects early on and incorporated the earth's rotation, astronomy as well as time and place into her sculptures - and in doing so repeatedly challenged us to look beyond what we think we know. Holt's working method will be given a special presence in the exhibition in the Gropius Bau through the artist's texts and recordings.
