  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

First UK Solo Exhibition of American Artist Nancy Holt Opens At Haunch of Venison

Nancy Holt, Sunlight in Sun Tunnels, 1976. (detail). Composite of thirty photographs of sunlight and shadow in one tunnel photographed every half hour from 6.30 AM to 9.00 PM in 14 July 1976 Composite inkjet print taken from original 35mm colour transparencies; printed on archival rag paper 2012.Nancy Holt is a pioneer of land art--a movement that began in the 1960s. Land art takes art outside of museum and gallery settings--and places it in the natural environment. Of course, land art cannot be bought or sold--and this changed the way people perceive art. Holt is also well known for her film, video and photographic work--related to site specific projects.

“LONDON.- Haunch of Venison presents the first UK solo exhibition of American artist Nancy Holt. Holt is one of the leading artists of her generation and a pioneer in site-specific art and film and video work. She is one of a group of important international artists who initiated the Land art movement in the late 1960s.”
