jenny holzer projections
at: MASS MoCA, north adams, massachusetts
on now through november 16, 2008

american born artist jenny holzer is well-known for expressing her ideas and opinions predominantly
through light projections and electronic signs.  she often uses architecture as the beacons in which
to project her work, with the public sphere playing a key role in how the statements are delivered
and received.  this exhibition of interior light projections is the first in the US, filling the gallery space
of building 5 with words, body and light, the viewer being completely enveloped into the experience. 
also on view are a new series of paintings which holzer displayed at the 2007 venice biennale.
