Jenny Holzer Quotes



Did you know about Jenny Holzer?

She also uses texts from different contexts such as passages from de-classified US Army documents from the war in Iraq. In her 1986 exhibition at Barbara Gladstone Gallery in New York Jenny Holzer introduced a total environment where viewers were confronted with the relentless visual buzz of a horizontal LED sign and stone benches leading up to an electronic altar. For the Venice Biennale in 1990 Holzer designed posters hats and t-shirts to be sold in the streets of Venice while her LED signboards and marble benches occupied the solemn and austere exhibition space (the original installation is retained in its entirety in the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo the organizing institution for the American Pavilion at the 1990 Venice Biennale).

Holzer lives and works in Hoosick Falls New York. Jenny Holzer (born July 29 1950[citation needed]) is an American conceptual artist.
