Summary:

"On Location follows the movements of several key 1960s artists who began to work directly with the exhibition space, creating temporary installations or challenging the physical fabric of the gallery by transforming its architecture. Others moved beyond the gallery to work on city streets or in the countryside. And others explored the mechanisms of the art world, investigating the publications and reproductions which now frequently replaced the direct experience of individual works. Robert Smithson engaged in different ways with all of these practices and as a result his work plays a pivotal role in this book."--Jacket.
