This was the best thing that ever happened to Times Square.
Jenny Holzer – SURVIVAL, 1983-1985 (exhibited as part of Creative Time’s 42nd Street Project 1993)
“Like the Jenny Holzer pieces, you’ve got a lot of people saying, ‘What the fuck is that? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?’ And it’s like, well, why are you angry about that and you’re not angry about anything else you see here? About drug dealing, about people with drugs, about homelessness, but you’re getting mad about this sign because people feel it doesn’t belong here. And they feel all the other stuff does."
