Jenny Holzer's "For the Guggenheim"
I watched this video 'For the Guggenheim' by Jenny Holzer in contexual studies class.
I like the way how she experienced with using different media such as moving image and the text itself is not just text, it become as a main method because normally text used to support the image / main ideas.
My point of view seeing McCahon Colin's work, i see the similarity beween McCahon's and Jenny's. The viewer read text as an artwork rather than read it and get information out of it.
But the text helps the viewer to understand the actual work and that is the reason why i like Jenny Holzer's work. Her previews works speak the truth, violence, sexualism, things that people are afraid of saying it, she speaks it in her work.
