I think that every so-called history book and film biography should be prefaced by the statement that what follows is the author’s rendition of events and circumstances.

Barbara Kruger

There are so many moments and works that influence us in what we do. Movies, music, TV and, most importantly, the profound everydayness of our lives.

Complaints Except World
I’m an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
BARBARA KRUGER

Artist Different Mean

BARBARA KRUGER

Art Mean Reflection
I think that art is still a site for resistance and for the telling of various stories, for validating certain subjectivities we normally overlook. I’m trying to be affective, to suggest changes, and to resist what I feel are the tyrannies of social life on a certain level.

I think what I’m trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.
