The different aspects of my activity, whether it's writing criticism, or doing visual work that incorporates writing, or teaching, or curating, is all of a single cloth, and I don't make any separation in terms of those practices.

More quotes by 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
The so-called language of Barbara Kruger is vernacular language. Obviously, I pick through bits and pieces of it and figure out to some degree how to objectify my experience of the world, using pictures and words that construct and contain me.
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'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
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 want people to be drawn into the space of the work. And a lot of people are like me in that they have relatively short attention spans. So I shoot for the window of opportunity.
Barbara Kruger
There are so many moments and works that influence us in what we do. Movies, music, TV and, most importantly, the profound everydayness of our lives.
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
All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.
Barbara Kruger
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.
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
We are obliged to steal pieces of language, both visual and textual.
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
If I bring up political power, personal power, it sounds like they're my terms, and they're not.
Barbara Kruger
I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
Barbara Kruger
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
Barbara Kruger
Warhol's images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn't think about him a hell of a lot.
Barbara Kruger
What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
Barbara Kruger
Love is something you fall into.
