Summer is officially here. I shot this at the Sun Tunnels near Lucin,Utah. It’s a cool work of art in the middle of nowhere. Twice a year the tunnels line up with the solstice and light up the tunnels. It’s a sight to see for sure.

Nancy Holt, Sun Tunnels, 1973–76 — detail of one of three views published alongside her essay on the work in Artforum in April 1977. We’ve seen these a million times, but until now missed the figure — DeeDee Halleck? Joan Jonas?— walking in front of the right tunnel.

[EDIT: Julian’s essay on Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels, 1973–76, is up now, part of Holt/Smithson Foundation’s Tuesday Texts series.]

Nancy Holt, Sun Tunnnels

The winter solstice at Nancy Holt’s ‘Sun Tunnels’ (1973–76), a time at which the work’s concrete cylinders are perfectly aligned to frame the sun on the horizon.
