$40
Dust Paintings was an exhibition by Jenny Holzer, featuring her paintings based on government documents. Accompanying the exhibition was a catalog with an essay by poet Henri Cole. Since 2004, Holzer has used government documents as a source, with language as her primary medium since the late 1970s. Her works, often displayed on electronic signs or stone benches, explore how ideas evolve from arguments into perceived facts, engaging viewers through a physical experience. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Holzer used these documents to trace the war's origins and consequences, with her recent hand-rendered pieces adding a visceral dimension to the narrative of the global war on terror.
