  • waw.. ==) beautiful =) art

  • I was lucky enough to see this in Chicago...stunning !

  • I was able to see one of Jenny Holzer's installations at NGA in DC and it was really informative to hear her speak on her work. It is always beneficial in my opinion to hear what the artist has to say, it really adds a deeper context to their work because you understand their personality and thought process better.

  • Very interesting and relevant to our global issues today.

  • I'm glad to hear there will be a chance to see this work here in New York in March.

  • well i agree w/ the post that says THANX for Posting this... it's great to see & hear what Jenny Holzer focuses on in her work, as well as her perspective via the audio giving some perspective into her attitude, etc.

    ---Keep posting more of the Art 21 series;-),
