Charles鈥疪oss: Mansions of the Zodiac鈥痠s an exhibition of鈥疪oss鈥檚 artwork inspired by sunlight, starlight, time, and planetary motion.鈥疌harles鈥疪oss鈥痚merged in the 1960s with the advent of minimalism and earthworks, and is considered one of the preeminent figures of land art. This exhibition opens as鈥疪oss鈥痭ears the completion of his earth/sky work,鈥疭tar Axis,鈥痑 monumental architectonic sculpture, and naked eye observatory located on the eastern plains of New Mexico.

The works in this exhibition span critical moments in鈥疪oss鈥檚 career and have never before been exhibited. The鈥痶welve鈥疢ansions of the Zodiac,鈥疭tar Map Paintings (1976/78) map the Precession of the Equinoxes.鈥疨oint Source / Star Space:鈥疻eaves of Ages鈥�(1975/86) is a Star Map Painting that explores space from the vantage point at the center of the earth looking out to the space of the stars. The making of these Star Map Paintings meaningfully corresponds to the building of鈥疭tar Axis, as鈥疪oss鈥痠s immersed in revealing earth to star geometries in different ways. The final piece, a film co-edited with Peter Campus and titled鈥疭unlight Dispersion鈥�(1971), depicts the solar spectrum that鈥檚 created with one of鈥疪oss鈥檚 prism sculptures, as it moves through his New York studio, propelled by the turning of the earth. Now, as鈥疪oss鈥痗ompletes鈥疭tar Axis,鈥痶his exhibition gives us a glance at his art and art making in New Mexico, a place that is elemental to his life and work.
