ARTIST ROOMS Jenny Holzer
20-21 Visual Arts Centre is delighted to host ARTIST ROOMS Jenny Holzer, presented in partnership with Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. Pioneering American artist Jenny Holzer uses text as her primary material and remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art. Known for powerful, provocative installations and her creative use of electronic technology, she produces art that is impossible to ignore.
