SURVIVAL SERIES -
An explanation


From the posters and parkbenches in New York City the art world took notice of Jenny Holzer giving her availibility to larger projects. From TRUISMS the sayings have stopped. The messages are more to tap into the culutral psyche. To warn and to judge the people. She points her finger down at the world with these signs. Telling them facts in an omnimous way. Telling prophecies almost.

With her golden ticket in the art world Holzer was able to use the billboards of Times Square, Caesar's Palace, Fenway Park and many more. These sayings were written on billboards not to be viewed by an art world but by common motorists and pedestrians passing by. Keep this in mind when you view SURVIVAL SERIES.
