Jenny Holzer
Stiftung Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf
Through August 6, 2023

Starting March 11, 2023, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen will present a sweeping exhibition of the internationally celebrated American artist Jenny Holzer (*1950). Since the 1970s, Holzer has been renowned for her thought-provoking use of text in various media and her pioneering adaptation of new technologies.

Holzer’s Düsseldorf exhibition, spanning K21’s Bel Etage and temporary exhibition galleries, will range from posters to paintings and stone-works, touching on subjects such as war, absurdity, and populism. In keeping with Holzer’s deeply democratic approach and artistic practice, her works challenge viewers to grapple with conflicting perspectives and find their own empathic, open minded positions in complex debates. This makes the exhibition a public forum for discussions of current global challenges.

Language in Times of Miscommunication
Group Exhibition
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Through August 27, 2023

Language in Times of Miscommunication presents artworks by nineteen American artists that incorporate various forms of language (poetry, speculative fiction, and slang), modes of communication (propaganda, protest, social media, and advertising), and research (archives, political documents, and the news). The assembled works form a timely exchange about the slippery relationship between opinion, fact, and fiction in order to address the socio-political ramifications of divisive language and alternative narratives that have unraveled society since 2016—a year that marked a shift in recognizing the fallibility of communication in the United States. The exhibition and artworks do not ignore the polemical and rarely posit either fact or truth; rather they attempt to incite a critical and expansive discourse about the complexities of social reality in times of rampant miscommunication.

Los Angeles

The group show Eau de Cologne at Sprüth Magers in Los Angeles features work from the late 1970s to 2016 by Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Cindy Sherman and Rosemarie Trockel. The exhibition at Sprüth Magers’ recently-opened Los Angeles gallery is a follow–up to its predecessor in Berlin last year. It sheds light on key topics in these artists’ works, but also the specific history of the gallery and its connection to these important female figures of an art that subtly addresses women’s roles in very different ways.

Jenny Holzer
Sophisticated Devices
June 1–August 18, 2012
London

The American artist finds ways to make narrative a part of visual objects, employing an innovative range of materials and presentations to confront emotions and experiences, politics and conflict.

Jenny Holzer
Endgame
April 27–June 16, 2012
Berlin

Entitled Endgame, the exhibition includes a series of paintings marking the artist’s return to the medium after more than thirty years. Holzer searches for ways to make narrative a part of visual objects, employing an innovative range of materials and presentations to confront emotions and experiences, politics and conflict. While looking for subject matter for electronics and projections, the artist located a number of redacted, declassified government documents including policy memos, autopsy reports, and statements by American administration officials, soldiers, detainees, and others, generated during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Berlin

October 18th, 2008 marked the opening of Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers’ new space in Berlin at Oranienburger Strasse 18, on the occasion of which Jenny Holzer created a new edition of LED curves with blue and amber diodes featuring lines from her iconic texts series such as Truisms (1977–79), Living (1980–82), Laments (1989) and Arno (1996).

Jenny Holzer
Detained
January 31–March 15, 2008
London

Beginning with her 2004 exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria, Holzer has made the study of declassified US government documents the content for her context-based practice. Incorporating memos, sworn statements, emails, directives, judgments, and other government materials regarding the situation in the Middle East into paintings, large scale light projections, and electronic signs, Holzer has harnessed a variety of approaches to make sensate the accounting of war and torture.

Jenny Holzer
Highly Sensitive
June 5–September 1, 2007
Cologne

The works shown in the exhibition Highly Sensitive continue a theme that Jenny Holzer began with a work for the magazine Wired in 2004 and continued in her solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Truth before Power, in which she made the balance between transparency and security within a democratic government her theme. Her most recent work is based on the political landscape of the USA after 9/11 and the debate about covert investigations, mistreatment of prisoners of war and war tragedies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, which Jenny Holzer reveals through written instructions, emails and testimonies of decision-makers, soldiers and prisoners. In her Redaction Paintings Holzer shows documents from government and military circles that have been published in the course of the Freedom of Information Act.
