Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Texas at Dallas, 2016.

This dissertation describes and analyzes the work of American earthworks, conceptual, and installation artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973) in Texas and other geographical locations. Beginning in 1966 with the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, to the films and material maps completed in the years immediately before the artist's accidental death in 1973, this dissertation highlights unfinished projects in Texas, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Vancouver, and Mexico, as a means of repositioning these peripheral works within the central Smithson canon.

520 $a This dissertation describes and analyzes the work of American earthworks, conceptual, and installation artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973) in Texas and other geographical locations. Beginning in 1966 with the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, to the films and material maps completed in the years immediately before the artist's accidental death in 1973, this dissertation highlights unfinished projects in Texas, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Vancouver, and Mexico, as a means of repositioning these peripheral works within the central Smithson canon.
520 $a In these geographical "others," Smithson was free to experiment with new technologies like television broadcasting and film making. He was also able to expand the scale of his work to the monumental and eventually, to the monumentally kinetic, when he proposed to barge a garden island around the even bigger island of Manhattan. The artist's interest in the sciences of crystallography, cartography, and biology would serve as his guide in navigating his various interests and attempts to realize both the monumental and ephemeral. Through an examination of proposals, film treatments, photographs, and films, this study demonstrates how Smithson spent the greater part of his mature career outside of the central New York art scene in peripheral areas that were transformed into the new centers of his art.
520 $a Smithson produced many drawings and conceived several earthworks for projects and sites related to Texas-based works. Projects like the DFW Airport have already been noted for their role in Smithson's development toward the concept of large-scale earthworks; however, this dissertation brings focus to lesser-known projects proposed throughout Texas that demonstrate the artist working through a variety of ideas that are better known for their realized counterparts completed elsewhere. While other peripheral areas played a role as nonsites or regional "others," Texas is the central focus of this dissertation, as I argue that Texas---with its fathomless limits and outsider status---catalyzed crucial aspects of Smithson's career.
