Last Chance

Robert Smithson: Whether one agrees with the assertion in the MOCA retrospective’s catalog that “no other postwar American artist can be said to be as influential” as the late Robert Smithson, the effect his art and writing have had on art in the last 30 years is immense. This exhibition, organized and artfully installed by guest curator Eugenie Tsai with MOCA curator Connie Butler, includes a strong selection of 10 of Smithson’s gallery pieces from 1968 and 1969 -- the famous “nonsites” and “mirror displacements” -- as well as drawings, photographs, project proposals and films.
