Lisa Le Feuvre, the head of the Holt-Smithson Foundation, which she has led since 2017, spends a lot of time reading. In fact, it’s how she begins most of her mornings, although she doesn’t consider it a luxury. Education for all is one of her passions.
We spoke with Le Feuvre about her recent work with the artists’ foundation, what she’s been reading of late, and why she advocates for literacy initiatives.
What are you working on right now?
We are a young organization, and with each day, we are building the roots of Holt–Smithson Foundation. At the core of our foundation’s work is establishing information on each work Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson made, so we have an ongoing pattern of research where we talk, listen, read, and frown over the biographies of each artwork.
