Poetry projected onto public buildings
Monday October 3, 2005
from The New York Times (with thanks to Suzanne Burns of the NewPoetry list for pointing out the article):
“New ‘Truisms’ in Words and Light”
“After the Sept. 11 attacks, Jenny Holzer, like so many artists, got calls asking how she would memorialize the events.... With the help of the public art organization Creative Time, Ms. Holzer, 55, will project United States government documents and the words of some 20 international poets for 11 nights on the facades of five buildings” in New York City (three in Rockefeller Center, the Bobst Library at New York University in Greenwich Village, & the New York Public Library). Poets whose work Holzer will use include Wislawa Szymborska, Jack Gilbert, Walt Whitman & Allen Ginsberg.
