Book excerpt: "I show what I can with words in light and motion in a chosen place, and when I envelop the time needed, the space around, the noise, smells, the people looking at one another and everything before them, I have given what I know." Jenny Holzer's light projections have taken place across four continents, fifteen countries, and more than thirty cities. From Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie and Daniel Libeskind's Jüdisches Museum in Berlin to I.M. Pei's Pyramide du Louvre in Paris, Holzer's light events have worked in significant architectural spaces. Her projections onto waves and mountains in Rio de Janeiro, the Seine and Arno rivers, the mountains and ski jump in Lillehammer, and the Dune du Pyla, engage the natural landscape as quiet and affecting settings for reflection, laughter, and exchange. Through a discerning selection of full page images printed in black and white, many the result of Holzer's longstanding, working relationship with the photographer Attilio Maranzo, this book tours projections over twelve years. While the artworks themselves are transient, each image suspends the tension of the passing moment and locates the beauty of experience within the frame.

Book excerpt: Jenny Holzer (born 1950) became known in the 1980s with her billboards, projections and LED installations that often used text to deliver social critique. Jenny Holzer: War Paintings is a significant departure from the works for which she is known. It draws from declassified and US government documents concerning the War on Terror and military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Holzer transforms these redacted documents--memoranda, planning maps, diplomatic communiqués, interrogation records, autopsy reports and the handwritten cris de coeur of detainees themselves--into ravishing silkscreened and handpainted oil-on-linen paintings several times their original size. Holzer embarked on the war paintings in an effort to end the normalization of torture. This volume compiles over 200 images--full-bleed reproductions and installation views--of some of the most important political art of our time.

Book excerpt: The obsessions and abiding themes of Louise Bourgeois, as seen through the eyes of Jenny Holzer For both Jenny Holzer (born 1950) and Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), the question of female identity is a central point of departure for their artistic production. Holzer knew Bourgeois personally and shares her sensitivity to language and the radicality of her creative position. Mainly focusing on Bourgeois' writing and drawing practices, this gorgeous, large-format volume brings together the two legendary artists to propose a journey through Bourgeois' obsessions and some of the major themes at stake in her work, among them motherhood, trauma, fear and loneliness. Conceived and designed by Holzer to accompany the 2022 Louise Bourgeois exhibition that she curated at the Kunstmuseum Basel, the book puts Bourgeois' works into dialogue with works from the Kunstmuseum Basel's historical collections. A fascinating montage of images and writings, this volume offers an unprecedented insight into Bourgeois' art and life.

Book excerpt: Jenny Holzers Werke erreichen und berühren ein großes Publikum weltweit. In den 1980er Jahren zeigte die Künstlerin ihre aufrüttelnden politischen Texte auf LED-Anzeigentafeln und Laufbändern in Flughäfen oder Sportstadien. Für ihre jüngeren Lichtarbeiten benutzt sie Xenon-Scheinwerfer, mit denen sich Schriftzüge auf jede Gebäudefläche, aber auch auf Plätze oder Flüsse projizieren lassen. Die Publikation dokumentiert einen Querschnitt aus Jenny Holzers Lichtkunst-uvre, für den die Künstlerin im Rahmen der Duisburger Akzente 2004 Textbotschaften aus ihren berühmten Arbeiten Truisms (1977-1979), Inflammatory Essays (1979-1982), Survival (1983-1985) und Mother and Child (1990) auf die monumentalen Stahlskulpturen des Hochofens im ehemaligen Thyssen-Hüttenwerk sowie auf weitere markante Architekturen der Duisburger Innenstadt projizierte. Alle Texte der Xenon-Installationen erstmals in neuer deutscher Übersetzung.

Book excerpt: Son travail d'artiste conceptuelle relie la peinture et l'écriture et insiste sur l'importance du langage et sur la mise en cause de la représentation. Elle est l'héritière de l'art minimal et de l'art conceptuel. Elle participe de cette génération d'artistes qui se questionne sur l'espace des galeries et des musées et sur le rôle de l'artiste subjectif et individualiste.Cette exposition reflète la dimension politique et historique de son art...Elle utilise des documents provenant des archives officielles de l'armée américaine.
