| Details: | Charles Ross: Mansions of the Zodiac is an exhibition ofRoss’s artwork inspired by sunlight, starlight, time, and planetary motion. CharlesRoss emerged 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 Ross nears the completion of his earth/sky work, Star Axis, a monumental architectonic sculpture, and naked eye observatory located on the eastern plains of New Mexico. The works in this exhibition span critical moments in Ross’s career and have never before been exhibited. The twelve mansions of the Zodiac, Star Map Paintings (1976/78)map the Precession of the Equinoxes. Point Source / Star Space: Weaves of Ages (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 Star Axis, as Ross is immersed in revealing earth to star geometries in different ways. The final piece, a film co-edited with Peter Campus and titled Sunlight Dispersion (1971), depicts the solar spectrum that’s created with one of Ross’s prism sculptures, as it moves through his New York studio, propelled by the turning of the earth.
