“I want people to think of the common good, the common weal,” Jenny Holzer told The Guardian last year. Born in Ohio in 1950, the artist has always brought politics and social issues into her work. Holzer responds to situations as they unfold, such as the AIDS crisis in the 80s, and the brutality of the Iraq war. She showed her art on the street and in public spaces before presenting it in museums. Her text-based installations often use technology to urge people to question the words and information they are exposed to in the information age. A 1989 installation at the Guggenheim saw Holzer’s electronic text scrolling along the museum’s spiral ramp. Now this new Guggenheim exhibition reimagines that installation, with expanded content. —Jeanne Malle
