Jenny Holzer's xenon projections have intrigued audiences around the globe from Buenos Aires to Paris to Berlin. She now presents them for the first time in the United States. On several evenings, from 8PM until midnight, the words of important poets Wislawa Szymborska, Yehuda Amichai, and Henri Cole, among others will scroll over landmark NYC buildings enveloping them with beauty and power. Location and projection are fused; light, word, audience, and building are joined.
