Description
xProduced in conjunction with an innovative exhibition of the same name at SITE SANTA FE, Teresita Fern?ndez / Robert Smithson joins in dialogue two groundbreaking artists whose practices are connected through themes of the cosmos, land and landscape, the subterranean, mirrors, and islands.
The structure of the book tracks closely with the organization of the exhibition, as rooms centered on certain overlapping themes in the artists' work become chapters in the publication for the reader to navigate at a different pace. In addition to a text by Fern?ndez written initially as part of a performance at SITE and selected writing from Smithson, the book includes new essays by Lisa Le Feuvre, the co-curator of the exhibition and executive director of the Holt/Smithson Foundation; Carla Acevedo-Yates; and Lucy R. Lippard. The work of Teresita Fern?ndez can be found in the collections of the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin; Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville; Ford Foundation, New York; High Museum of Art, Atlanta; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; LVMH Collection, Paris; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas; New Orleans Museum of Art; Seattle Art Museum; Palm Springs Art Museum; P?rez Art Museum Miami; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Saint Louis Art Museum; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington; Speed Art Museum, Louisville; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Whitney Museum of Art. The work of Robert Smithson is held in numerous public collections around the world, including the Dia Art Foundation, New York and Beacon; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Tate Modern, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York among others.

By Robert Smithson
xTeresita Fern?ndez (b. 1968) expansively rethinks what constitutes landscape. Her artistic practice and research move from the subterranean to the cosmic, from political borders to the elusive psychic landscapes we carry within. Unraveling the intimacies between matter, human beings, and locations through large-scale sculpture, site-specific installation, film, and works on paper that are all materially and conceptually driven, Fern?ndez seeks to reveal the inherent violence embedded in how we imagine and define place. Fern?ndez's work poetically challenges ideas of power, visibility, and erasure in connection to site and landscape.
Robert Smithson (1938-1973) expanded what art could be and where it could be found. For over 50 years, his writings, artworks, and ideas have influenced generations of artists and thinkers to consider site-specificity and land in relation to conceptual and minimalist practices. From his landmark earthworks to his "quasi-minimalist" sculptures, Nonsites, writings, proposals, collages, drawings, and radical rethinking of landscape, Smithson's ideas remain relevant for our times. By investigating the conceptual and physical boundaries of knowledge, he raised essential questions about our place in the world.
