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.

More quotes by Barbara Kruger
GIVE YOUR BRAIN AS MUCH ATTENTION AS YOU DO YOUR HAIR AND YOU'LL BE A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER OFF.
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
All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.
Barbara Kruger
Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.
Barbara Kruger
I think pictures and words have the power to make us rich or poor.
Barbara Kruger
I've always thought that it's good to watch the news to find out what everybody else is looking at and believing, if only because that's how consensus is constructed.
Barbara Kruger
I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
Barbara Kruger
Photography has saturated us as spectators from its inception amidst a mingling of laboratorial pursuits and magic acts to its current status as propagator of convention, cultural commodity, and global hobby.
Barbara Kruger
What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
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
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.
Barbara Kruger
I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle.
Barbara Kruger
Money talks. It makes art. It determines what food we eat, whether we are cured or die, and what shoes we wear.
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 have frequently said, and I will repeat again, in the manner of any well-meaning seriality, that I'm interested in mixing the ingratiation of wishful thinking with the criticality of knowing better.
Barbara Kruger
I think people have to set up little battles. They have to demonize people whom they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it's the ideological framing of the debate that scares me.
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
Seeing is no longer believing. The very notion of truth has been put into crisis. In a world bloated with images, we are finally learning that photographs do indeed lie.
Barbara Kruger
I remember going into galleries and seeing this thing called conceptual art, and I understand people’s marginalization from what the art subculture is because if you haven’t crashed the codes, and if you don’t know what it is, you feel it’s a conspiracy against your unintelligence. You feel it’s fraud.
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.
