The American artist Jenny Holzer presents at the Serralves Foundation, in Porto, the exhibition "Wrong Answers", which brings together a considerable part of her work. Holzer has been known for decades for her use of language as an instrument of political and social intervention.
Holzer's work directly confronts a media environment that the artist considers deeply toxic, using the written word as a form of resistance and confrontation. The electric currents, one of her distinctive materials, appear in this exhibition as a metaphor for the stream of information that passes through us daily.
The exhibition at Serralves demonstrates how Holzer transforms frequently brief and direct texts into works of great visual impact, questioning contemporary society and the way information is transmitted and consumed.
