Script for a nonsite: Robert smithson’s “the monument”

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Robert Smithson’s text “The Monument” (ca. 1967) is an outline for an unrealized film, tracing the production and exhibition of his first Nonsite work. It reveals that archival material was an active element in Smithson’s practice, a material presence traversing archive and oeuvre, mirroring his theory of Site and Nonsite.
