More quotes by Barbara Kruger
I don't necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It's just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.
Barbara Kruger
I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
Barbara Kruger
I worked with someone else's photos I cropped them in whatever way I wanted and put words on top of them. I knew how to do it with my eyes closed. Why couldn't that be my art?
Barbara Kruger
Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
Barbara Kruger
There's a moment of recognition. It's that white-light kind of stuff that just works. I love that. And you know it when it happens, whether it's a movie, music, a building, a book.
Barbara Kruger
I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.
Barbara Kruger
What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
Barbara Kruger
I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.
Barbara Kruger
Look, we're all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I've chosen to make my work about that insanity.
Barbara Kruger
I like suggesting that ‘we are slaves to the objects around us,’ that ‘plenty should be enough,’ or that the ‘buyer should beware,’ within the context of conventional selling space.
Barbara Kruger
I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle.
Barbara Kruger
I think architecture is one of the predominant orderings of social space. It can construct and contain our experiences. It defines our days and nights. It literally puts us in our place.
Barbara Kruger
Architecture is my first love, if you want to talk about what moves me... the ordering of space, the visual pleasure, architecture's power to construct our days and nights.
Barbara Kruger
I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.
Barbara Kruger
You want it, you buy it, you forget it.
Barbara Kruger
I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be and what we become.
Barbara Kruger
I've always been very tied to language.
Barbara Kruger
What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
Barbara Kruger
I'd always been a news junkie, always read lots of newspapers and watched the Sunday morning news shows on TV and felt strongly about issues of power, control, sexuality and race.
Barbara Kruger
I have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism - objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. There can be an abusive power to photography, too.
Barbara Kruger
