The Art Museum of Fort Worth unveiled a major new installation by
Holzer entitled “Kind of Blue” which includes long channels
of blue illuminated text running through the central gallery looking
out onto the pond. The artist talked about this new installation at
the unveiling as well as how her work has developed over her distinguished
career. Running in a river of indigo text in the museum’s clerestory
gallery, Kind of Blue features seven channels of text that serve as
a Holzer “retrospective,” a kind of “greatest hits”
on display. Working within the parameters of the Modern, Holzer found
Kind of Blue has an impact beyond the walls: Through reflection on
the pond just outside, the blue language doubles on the surface of
the water, adding a playful finish to the piece. Blue’s LED
lights can be set to frenetic “party program” or move
at a more contemplative speed.
Jenny Holzer (born July 29, 1950, Gallipolis, Ohio) is an American
neo-conceptual artist, based in Hoosick Falls, New York. The main
focus of her work is the delivery of words and ideas in public spaces.
The public dimension is integral to Holzer's work. Her large-scale
installations have included advertising billboards, projections on
buildings and other architectural structures, and illuminated digital
displays.
