Ligths, Camera, Screens - Protect Protect

Lee Frank says "Jenny Holzer thrives outside the more traditional, brick-and-mortar art world of paint and photography, using LED and light projection as her medium."

Starting today, her exhibit PROTECT PROTECT lights up the Whitney. As with past works where she beamed poems on buildings throughout New York, Holzer continues using poetry in her work. However, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, this show also includes manipulations and projections of government documents, and covers her craft from the '90s to the present.

The show goes on from Thursday Mar 12 (11am–6pm) at the Whitney Museum of American Art (945 Madison Ave, 800.944.8639).
