Produced in conjunction with an innovative exhibition of the same name at SITE SANTA FE, Teresita Fernandez / 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 Fernandez 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 Fernandez 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; Perez 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.
