Jenny Holzer Videos

An essential part of the Jenny Holzer exhibition at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen / Basel in Switzerland is a series of projections in public space. Since 1996 Jenny Holzer has created light projections in public spaces around the world, at sites including the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris and the facade of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. With these large scale projections, the texts she uses in these works enter a dialogue with the public building on which they are projected, its look and its history. The texts used in these projections at times are Holzer s own, and in other times are the work of others such as Wisława Szymborska (the Polish Nobel Prize winner for literature), and the American poet Henri Cole. This video documents the light projections onto Basel s City Hall (November 1, 2009), Basel s Cathedral (November 3, 2009), and the Swiss Railway Station (Bahnhof SBB, November 5, 2009). The first projection at Fondation Beyeler is part of our video about the opening of Jenny Holzer s exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler. Upcoming projections will be in Zürich (Lindenhof, projection over the Limmat, November 11 22, 2009) and in Binningen (Margarethenhügel, 2nd week of January, 2010).

As the Guggenheim writes: Her transformative work will cast large-scale texts—comprising the artist’s own writings and poems—directly onto Frank Lloyd Wright’s curving architecture. Suffused with a play of light and changing language, the building and its surroundings will become an environment for looking, discussing, and gathering.
