The centrepiece of Goodwood’s summer season is the first major UK presentation devoted to the trailblazing American land artist Nancy Holt. Ambitious in scale, the project extends from the galleries into the surrounding landscape, charting Holt’s lifelong fascination with systems, time, space and the ways we orient ourselves in the world. Since her death in 2014, Holt’s reputation has risen dramatically, and she is now recognised as a visionary pioneer of environmental perception and systems-based art – an artist whose ideas feel uncannily attuned to the present moment.
Until April 12, Goodwood continues to showcase the work of contemporary artists Dana Awartani, Solange Pessoa and Laís Amaral in its indoor spaces, while sculptures and installations by Rachel Whiteread, Amie Siegel, Susan Philipsz, Isamu Noguchi, Lubna Chowdhary, Rose Wylie, Veronica Ryan and Hélio Oiticica form a trail through its ever-changing 70-acre grounds. This beautiful landscape, designed with subtlety by Dan Pearson to register the shifting seasons, encourages visitors to return again and again.
