Jenny Holzer: Light Line

At the Guggenheim in New York, *Jenny Holzer: Light Line* presents the artist’s text-based practice in the form of projected language and light. Holzer, long associated with the city’s late-1970s and 1980s public-art interventions, returns in an institutional setting where the museum’s spiraling architecture becomes a surface for reading as much as looking. The work deals in statements about power, violence, and private feeling, delivered with the cool authority of signage. Its restraint is the point, and its unease lingers.
