Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer (b. 1950, Ohio, USA) is one of the most influential artists of her generation. Since the late 1970s, her work has explored the interaction between language and power. Her best-known installations consist of texts placed in urban spaces using various media — LED displays, hand-painted signs, bronze plaques, posters, stone benches, and light projections. Such works can awaken viewers’ consciousness and catalyze critical thinking, puncturing the media landscape to which we have become so accustomed that we can fail to recognize reality.
