Barbara Kruger Quotes

I’m living my life, not buying a lifestyle Picture Quote #1

Teaching at university isn’t like teaching in an art school Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been very tied to language Picture Quote #1

Memory is your image of perfection Picture Quote #1

I have no complaints, except for the world Picture Quote #1

I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work Picture Quote #1

I just say I’m an artist who works with pictures and words Picture Quote #1

Seeing is no longer believing. The very notion of truth has been put into crisis. In a world bloated with images, we are finally learning that photographs do indeed lie Picture Quote #1

Fashion is everywhere and about everything. It is folly, vanity and the fun of it all. It is disguise, innuendo, and cunning. It is mean, gorgeous and ambitious, and definitely the last word for the next few seconds Picture Quote #1

I think architecture is one of the predominant orderings of social space. It can construct and contain our experiences. It defines our days and nights. It literally puts us in our place Picture Quote #1

The different aspects of my activity, whether it’s writing criticism, or doing visual work that incorporates writing, or teaching, or curating, is all of a single cloth, and I don’t make any separation in terms of those practices Picture Quote #1

Architecture is my first love, if you want to talk about what moves me... the ordering of space, the visual pleasure, architecture’s power to construct our days and nights Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that it’s good to watch the news to find out what everybody else is looking at and believing, if only because that’s how consensus is constructed Picture Quote #1

Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways Picture Quote #1

I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty Picture Quote #1

Prominence is cool, but when the delusion kicks in it can be a drag. Especially if you choose to surround yourself with friends and not acolytes Picture Quote #1

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It’s because I understand short attention spans Picture Quote #1

I don’t necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It’s just a label for certain kinds of arrangements Picture Quote #1

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I’m not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don’t do it. I’m not crazy about categories Picture Quote #1

I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary Picture Quote #1

I think people have to set up little battles. They have to demonize people whom they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it’s the ideological framing of the debate that scares me Picture Quote #1

I think there are different ways of being rigorous, and I am asking people to be as rigorous in their pleasure as in their criticism Picture Quote #1

I think there are lots of ways to make good work. You can throw big bucks at a project and make what some would call crap, or you can work very modestly with eloquently moving results Picture Quote #1

I think what I’m trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I want people to be drawn into the space of the work. And a lot of people are like me in that they have relatively short attention spans. So I shoot for the window of opportunity Picture Quote #1

I’m an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed Picture Quote #1

I remember going into galleries and seeing this thing called conceptual art, and I understand people’s marginalization from what the art subculture is because if you haven’t crashed the codes, and if you don’t know what it is, you feel it’s a conspiracy against your unintelligence. You feel it’s fraud Picture Quote #1

It’s good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can’t be personalized Picture Quote #1

Look, we’re all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I’ve chosen to make my work about that insanity Picture Quote #1
