Some Jenny Holzer's quotes. Goto "Jenny Holzer's quotation" section for more.I'd been doing projects outdoors for the public. I made pigeons eat geometry by putting bread out in rhomboids and triangles. I don't know if this activity made sense, but the work was available.
Tags: Public, Sense, WorkI'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still there, or if anyone would notice.

Tags: Alone, Death, WorkOne thing that changed when I moved upstate was that I became interested in different materials. I started making the stone benches because I was seeing rocks.
Tags: Interested, Making, StartedSo much of art-making is about reducing things to the essentials, so I don't feel particularly crippled by this. I don't want it to look natural because then I would be making a documentary film.
Tags: Film, Making, NaturalThat's the test of street art - to see if anybody stopped. People would cross out ones they didn't like and would star others. I liked that people would engage with them.
Tags: Art, Others, StarWell, I think in trying to make life seem real enough that one is moved to do something about the more atrocious things. By going really far afield into a completely fake world, maybe there's a chance to make things resonant somehow - or in this case, truly terrifying. To make it as bad as the real stuff that's happening.
Tags: Bad, Fake, LifeI really like doing the laundry, because I succeed at it. But I loathe putting it away. It is already clean.
Tags: Away, Laundry, SucceedI wanted to support things that are helpful to people and maybe bash what I think is dangerous. So I switched from being everybody to being myself.
Tags: Dangerous, Support, WantedProtect me from what I want.
Tags: ProtectThe desperate things seem to require attention, the lovely things seem to elicit celebration. If I had to choose, I would go to the awful in the hope that doing something could yield a happier result.
Tags: Attention, Hope, LovelyI began to see that the short texts I was writing were poster material.
Tags: Material, Short, WritingI moved to New York in the 1970s and started writing when I was at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program.
Tags: Started, Study, WritingI used language because I wanted to offer content that people - not necessarily art people - could understand.
