Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present Soil Horizon, an exhibition of new work by New York based artist Teresita Fernández. Over the course of her decades-long career, Fernández’s practice has been characterized by an expansive reimagining of what constitutes a landscape: from the subterranean to the cosmic, to contentious borderlines and borderlands. In Soil Horizon, the artist turns inward, to the elusive and numinous landscapes we carry within. Returning repeatedly to the question “Where am I?” as an emotive and conceptual point of origin, Fernández unravels the intimacies between matter, human beings, and places. The artist’s subtle conceptual practice and material processes have positioned her at the forefront of contemporary art, cementing her place in the canon and contextualizing her work within art historical discourse on art and land.

Following Soil Horizon at Lehmann Maupin, SITE Santa Fe will present Teresita Fernández / Robert Smithson. Opening in July 2024, this two-artist exhibition will feature over 30 works by Fernández and mark the first time Robert Smithson’s oeuvre has been placed in conversation with an artist working today. Other forthcoming projects include a monumental site-specific installation at the Detroit Institute of Arts to be unveiled in 2025. Fernández’s ambitious project will mark the museum’s first major installation in the Josephine F. & Walter B. Ford Great Hall, inaugurating a series of dynamic contemporary art activations.
