Jenny HolzerJenny Holzer was born in Gallipolis, Ohio, in 1950. She received a BA from Ohio University in Athens (1972); an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence (1977); and hon-orary doctorates from the University of Ohio (1993), the Rhode Island School of Design (2003), and New School University, New York (2005). Wheth-er questioning consumerist impulses, describing torture, or lamenting death and disease, Jenny Holzer’s use of language provokes a response in the viewer. While her subversive work of-ten blends in among advertisements in public space, its arresting content violates expectations. Holzer’s texts—such as the aphorisms “Abuse of power comes as no surprise” and “Protect me from what I want”—have appeared on posters and condoms, and as electron-ic LED signs and projections of xenon
light. Holzer’s recent use of text ranges from silk-screened paintings of declas-sified government memoranda detailing prisoner abuse to poetry and prose in a sixty-five-foot-wide wall of light in the lobby of 7 World Trade Center, New York. She has received many awards, includ-ing the Golden Lion from the Venice Bi-ennale (1990); the Skowhegan Medal (1994); and the Diploma of Chevalier (2000) from the French government. Major exhibitions include Neue Nation-algalerie, Berlin (2001); Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston (1997); Dia Art Foundation, New York (1989); and Sol-omon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (1989). Since 1996, Holzer has or-ganized public light projections in cities worldwide. She was the first woman to represent the United States in the Ven-ice Biennale (1990). Jenny Holzer lives and works in Hoosick Falls, New York.
