The installation Holes of Light reproduces a classical work by Nancy Holt, exhibited for the first time at LoGiudice gallery, New York, in 1973. The piece consists on an architectonic space in which the alternance of lights from one to another side of a wall with round holes creates an interplay of moving lights and shadows. Holes of Light is a peculiar case within Holt’s production, because this time she transfered to an indoor space her studies and concerns about projected light. Just like in the rest of her work, in this installation Holt brings to human dimensions the systems of flux, movement and light of the universe –in which Holes of Light is inscribed at the same time- thus connecting the microcosm and macrocosm by a fractal relationship.

The beauty of the forms that light creates through the circles and their plastic qualities appear in the photoghraphs, made by the artist herself, exhibited together with a series of preparatory drawings.
The exhibition also includes some Locators: steel sculptures that direct the visitor’s view towards specific locations or details in the room that would otherwise go unnoticed. These pieces were one of the previous experiments by Nancy Holt that afterwards led to major works as Holes of Light.

Nancy Holt (USA, 1938 – 2014) was one of the main figures in Land Art. She’s the author of works as renowned as the Sun Tunnels in the desert of Utah, though her work also includes other media such as photography, installations and video. Her work has been exhibited in institutions like The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Musee d’Art Modern de la Ville de Paris; Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels; Kunsthallen Brandts; Centro de Cultura Contemporánea, Barcelona; Tate Modern, London; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Hirschorn Museum, Washington and Whitney Museum, New York, among others. Her work is held in prominent collections as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, MoMA New York or the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Salt Lake City.
