By Mary Alice Casey Artist. One might offer these words to describe Jenny Holzer. Yet slipping a single label on the person seems almost as ludicrous as trying to tuck her life's work into one of those neat little categories many of us think of as art. Her work literally has illuminated venues as diverse as the new Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, Times Square in New York and Slate online magazine. It's man's fate to outsmart himself.
Revolution begins with changes in the individual.
A projection from Holzer's anti-war installation in Leipzig, Germany. The idea is not to do a piece that is so sleepy or so bland that everybody is going to like it or salute it. LED display for the Guggenheim museums in Bilbao, Spain, and New York City. An aunt in Gallipolis and a cousin in Columbus. It seems a going concern, to the point of the grounds looking great.
