Starting on the streets of New York with simple fly-posters, she has gone on to disseminate her truisms, slogans, memorials and poems through a variety of media. They are enunciated by an unstable register of personae, be it ad-man, stand-up comedian, torturer, victim or evangelist. The sites for her work range from T-shirts and golf balls to dazzling electronic signboards at baseball stadiums.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer work uses language to investigate the nature of ideologies as conscious and unconscious formations about identity and experience. Her complex and poetic texts can be shocking, humorous and intriguing in content. At the same time she draws on Minimalism's use of industrial materials and deploys scale, movement and light to create art of great formal power and beauty. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Survey, art critic and academic David Joselit surveys Holzer's changing oeuvre, from the first appearance of the streetwise \u003cem\u003eTruisms \u003c/em\u003ein the late 1970 to her large-scale installations in museums worldwide. Joan Simon, curator of Holzer's first solo US museum exhibition, discusses with the artist her use of language and its relationship to visual form. In the Focus, Slovenian cultural theorist and philosopher Renata Salecl takes an in-depth look at Holzer's \u003cem\u003eLustmord \u003c/em\u003eseries, which was precipitated by the events in the former Yugoslavia and boldly addresses the atrocities committed in war. For the Artist's Choice, the artist's fragmented, unexpected language is mirrored in Samuel Beckett's \u003cem\u003eIll Seen Ill Said\u003c/em\u003e, which the artist has chosen alongside extracts from \u003cem\u003eCrowds and Power \u003c/em\u003eby Elias Canetti. A text by the artist on her literary influences accompanies a selection of her signature texts in the Artist's Writings section.\u003c/p\u003e","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003eOn the \u003cem\u003eContemporary Artists Series\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;The boldest, best executed, and most far-reaching publishing project devoted to contemporary art.
