Jenny Holzer on For The City

04 Nov 2009

Speakers: Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer discusses her work For The City (2005), which takes declassified US government documents from the National Security Archive and projects them onto the facades of buildings in New York. The piece was premiered at George Washington University in Washington DC, where the archive is stored. The documents possess, in Holzer's words, a 'wonderfully unguarded' quality, as many were scribbled down quickly. For Holzer, this human touch is what makes history real.
