Jenny Holzer: Wrong Answers

Jenny Holzer: Wrong Answers

Wrong Answers, the first solo exhibition of American artist Jenny Holzer in Portugal, opens within the sprawling garden-exhibition space of Porto’s Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art (Fundação de Serralves). In the midst of the American political moment, where the airwaves are replete with references to President Donald Trump, Holzer adapts her decades-long visual language to address these divisive and peculiar times.

 

The site-specific retrospective collects the works, mediums, and techniques that have defined Holzer’s oeuvre. There are spinning LED works, poetic self-devised slogans, and messages carved in stone. Her work has continually adapted, both in media and message, to the times in which she has lived while also revealing the story of the artist herself.
