Mary Lucier: The Plains of Sweet Regret: The Plains of Sweet Regret catalog is published in conjunction with the exhibition organized by the North Dakota Museum of Art. Mary Lucier's The Plains of Sweet Regret is part of the Museum's larger Emptying Out of the Plains project. Photographers, film makers, poets and essayists have been commissioned to create work that marks this moment in history of this northern land. Lucier nudges her viewers into remembering the things in life that one cherishes and gets them to ponder what must not be lost as we move into this new century.
