About Nothing Beside Remains:
Nothing Beside Remains is a suite of commissioned public projects, presented by LAND, opening in September 2011 and continuing into 2012. This LAND 1.0 exhibition is sited in Marfa, Texas—a rural town of 1,800 residents and a site of seminal art historical import—and features new commissions ranging from large-scale installations to discreet interventions.
Integrated into the boundless West Texas landscape, and connected by the thematic evoked in the exhibition’s titular reference, P.B. Shelley’s Ozymandias, these projects address the beauty and poetry in decay, the inevitable decline of the monumental, and the fleeting presence of legacy in the face of the erosion of time.
About LAND:
LAND was founded in 2009 by Director/Curator Shamim M. Momin, former contemporary curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Christine Y. Kim, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art, as a non-profit public art organization committed to curating site- and situation-specific contemporary art projects.
