Green's show fills the heart of Dia Beacon: installations about site and Land art return to U.S. view for the first time in over three decades, and vibrant new text banners hang the length of the corridor. Her first major solo museum show in New York mixes archival fragments, film and sound in modular listening units across the galleries. If you have been meaning to make the Beacon trip, its final weeks are the push.

Expect to linger in the geometric viewing units for moving-image and sound works, then continue through the rest of the collection.
