Her name needs no introduction – Holzer addresses the complex relationship between the verbal, visual and political by executing monumental projections displayed at the most renowned venues around the world, including permanent installations from Los Angeles to Osaka. The artist educated herself at several institutions, receiving a MFA degree from the Rhode Island School of Design and participating in the Whitney’s Independent Study Program (both 1977). Just after the graduation, she held a solo exhibition at the PS1 in New York (1978) and within the following years, she has been working both individually and collaboratively, executing installations “Eating Friends” and “Living” with Peter Nadin, accompanied with a book “Eating Through Living” (1981). Arguably, the end of the 80s has been a decisive period for her personal and professional life: “I worked on DIA when I was pregnant (“Lament 1988-9″), had a young child for the Guggenheim (1990), and my daughter celebrated her second birthday at the Venice Biennale (1990)”. Then, she has been awarded with the Golden Lion, historically being a first woman to contribute for the US Pavilion at the biennial. More recently, she partook in the group show “Adventures of the Black Square” (2015) at the Whitechapel Gallery and today, collaterally to the biennial, her exhibition “War Paintings” in on view at the Museo Correr in Venice (until November 2015). Some of her latest exhibitions include “A More Perfect Union” at gallery Xippas in Geneva (2023), a solo show at K21 in Düsseldorf (2023) and “Playscape” at JTT in New York (2023).
