Summary:

"Produced in conjunction with an exhibition at SITE SANTA FE, Teresita Fernández / Robert Smithson is structured as a subjective, intergenerational conversation between two artists whose conceptual, research-based practices take form through experimental sculptural approaches to matter and material. Initiated by Fernández's long-term engagement with challenging socially constructed ideas about place and landscape and her immersive research on Robert Smithson's art and ideas, the book explores convergences and divergences in the artists' thinking and making around sites, seeing, deep time, the cosmos, the subterranean, material intelligence, geological agency, and cartographic fictions.The book's structure tracks closely with the organization of the exhibition, as rooms centered on resonant themes in the artists' work become chapters in the publication for the reader to navigate at a different pace. In addition to a texts by Fernández and Smithson, the book includes essays by Lisa Le Feuvre, Carla Acevedo-Yates, and Lucy R. Lippard, along with an excerpt of a republished text by Nadiah Rivera Fellah and a conversation between Fernandez and fellow artist Cecilia Vicuña." - Radius Books webpage.
