Whitney on Site: Barbara Kruger
September 19, 2010 ⋅ Arts ⋅ by Ramon Diaz ⋅ 125 Views

On the corner of Washington and Gansevoort street, Barbara Kruger at 820 Washington Street displays her newest commissioned work for the “Whitney On Site” series at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Bold statements and words in vinyl are exhibited on the pavement and on top of buildings so that one with an aerial view can see the full setup. Much of the concept of this commissioned work reveals Kruger’s personality and also givens an answer to the conversion of artistic avenues across an area in NYC that was primarily known for meatpacking. Whitney On Site will be on display to the public until October 17th.

    Rip off of THEY LIVE? are you kidding man? Well i guess i could understand what you mean from that point of view but, this is more 2010 and think alot more graffiti writers should make messages like this and not just do a bunch of throw ups.

    kids today, they don’t even know the originators. Kruger is one of the most important people in a ‘graphic art’ culture as one of the most respected female graphic artist, feminist artist, and fine artist in the world. Done before? Yes, she has been doing this 40+ years. Read a book.

    For those making negative comments…do your homework. It’s easy to dismiss an innovator especially when she’s been copied to death.

    Kruger was around before 1988 folks.

    who’s “he”?

    this is the same strategy we’ve been seeing for years… it’s trite, in my opinion. using images to evoke how bad images in society are. boo
