It's really hard for me to use the term 'history' in the singular, because it suggests a reductivist view of how moments and events congeal and reflect the passage of time. I'd rather stick to the pluralness of 'histories' in order to suggest the simultaneity, the parallel forces at work, which produce lived experience.

Image
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
Image
I don't necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It's just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.

Love is something you fall into.

If I bring up political power, personal power, it sounds like they're my terms, and they're not.
Barbara Kruger
Image
I think what I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.

All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.

The place of the arts in the classroom is essential in encouraging invention, ambition, and an understanding of the importance and pleasures of living an examined life.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.
Barbara Kruger
Image
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
Image
I think pictures and words have the power to make us rich or poor.

Fashion is everywhere and about everything. It is folly, vanity and the fun of it all. It is disguise, innuendo, and cunning. It is mean, gorgeous and ambitious, and definitely the last word for the next few seconds.
