Here, Wislawa Szymborska

Jenny Holzer is one of those artists who loud and clear comment on the contemporary political reality. Born in 1950 in Gallipolis, a trained painter and graphic designer, originally an abstract artist, conceptual artist eventually. Holzer works in public spaces , and the most characteristic element of her work is word and text. Put it on posters, T-shirts, billboards, or stone benches ... but it large projections on the facades of buildings are its most famous realizations.

Paris, Rio de Janeiro, New York, London ... and Classifieds . This weekend, she will visit the capital of Wielkopolska and on the façade of the Old Brewery and City Hall will perform poems by Wislawa Szymborska projections.

poetry selection made jointly. Holzer no secret that he admires the work of Szymborska's poetry which moves close to her subjects. War, refugees, torture, and finally, the fate of the ordinary man in the face of the great movements of history. These motifs are mainly present in the recent work of an artist who is trying to deal with the policy pursued by the U.S. after September 11.
