Language has long been Jenny Holzer’s medium of engaging the public whether through electronic signs, posters, billboards, projections, carved inscriptions, or other means. Around the time Some men… was created in the early 1980s, Holzer was pasting up evocative posters and stickers on the streets of New York, her messages with their edgy and aphoristic tone intended to command attention and inspire thought. Lady Pink, one of the few women graffiti writers and founder of the all-women graffiti crew “Ladies of the Arts”, was stealthily and defiantly spraying large scale public murals on subway train cars and building exteriors. Their collaboration in the present work juxtaposes a powerful feminist statement from Holzer’s Survival series with Lady Pink’s characteristic depiction of a strong, feminine, confident woman surrounded by lush tropical flowers.
