Shana Nys Dambrot Describes Vintage Nancy Holt Installation as “A Dreamy Edisonian Wonderland”

“A dreamy Edisonian wonderland awaits, where a rolling landscape of electrical conduits and vintage-style lightbulbs undulates like waves, or like gentle hills or playground jungle gyms.”
– Art critic Shana Nys Dambrot, describing Nancy Holt’s Electrical Systems (1982) at Sprüth Magers Los Angeles. “It feels good to see this erasure being corrected,” Dambrot says of the inclusion of 1960s photo series by the land artist, noting similar work by Holt’s male peers has (historically) received more attention.
