LECTURE: Jenny Holzer presents Public Art

Wednesday 22 October
Lecture Room - 6pm

Artist, New York, and Resident in Visual Arts, American Academy in Rome

Jenny Holzer will speak on public art in relation to her own practice. Since the late 1970s, when her aphoristic Truisms and Inflammatory Essays were posted anonymously around New York, Holzer's work has sought to reformulate many of the givens of traditional art, especially in the context of public spaces. Holzer will discuss her experience working in the public sphere, from the early New York streetworks, to the more recent xenon projections and (anti) memorials, including Black Garden, Nordhorn, Germany (1994), Installation for the Reichstag, Bundestag, Berlin (1999) and BLACKLIST, University of Southern California, Los Angeles (1999).
