Jenny Holzer Quotes

Expiring for love is beautiful but stupid Picture Quote #1

At times inactivity is preferable to mindless functioning Picture Quote #1

Being happy is more important than anything else Picture Quote #1

I really like doing the laundry, because I succeed at it. But I loathe putting it away. It is already clean Picture Quote #1

Well, 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 Picture Quote #1

I think of a piece, and then people who are competent fabricate it. But lately I've started finger painting, which probably should be a joke but isn't! Picture Quote #1

I used language because I wanted to offer content that people - not necessarily art people - could understand Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The 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 Picture Quote #1

I'm always trying to bring unusual content to a different audience - a non art world audience Picture Quote #1

The epiphany for me was that I wasnt a writer, and I had to do something with these texts. I put them in the streets as posters Picture Quote #1

One 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 Picture Quote #1

My arrogance knows no bounds and I will make no peace today, and you should be so lucky to find a woman like me Picture Quote #1

So 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 Picture Quote #1

That'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 Picture Quote #1

I 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 Picture Quote #1

One of the glories and terrors of working in public is that you do see if your output means anything to anyone Picture Quote #1

How do you resign yourself to something that will never be? You stop wanting just that thing. You go numb. Or you kill the agent of desire Picture Quote #1

It's necessary to start most work alone. But I'm tickled to death when I can pull somebody in or join someone, whether it's borrowing poetry or traveling with an associate Picture Quote #1
