Description - Dia: An Introduction to Dia's Locations and Sites by Kamilah N. Foreman

A comprehensive guide to the Dia Art Foundation’s constellation of 12 art spaces across the globe, from Times Square to the Great Salt Lake Basin

This handy guidebook maps Dia Art Foundation’s constellation of 12 art spaces across the globe. Designed with everyday art lovers and dedicated art tourists in mind, the book charts the institution’s bold history and experimental present.
Widely known for Dia Beacon, a destination museum in the Hudson Valley, Dia Art Foundation is the steward for nine dedicated artist sites and maintains three nontraditional exhibition spaces. The artist sites—iconic, site-specific artworks installed in places as disparate as SoHo lofts, Times Square, the Utah desert and the Great Salt Lake Basin—attest to Dia’s deep support of such artists as Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt and Walter De Maria. The book addresses the origins and ongoing significance of these visionary permanent artworks and exhibition spaces and is supplemented by artist writings, maps and a timeline.
