- Jenny Holzer's projections remake buildings [published 1 Dec. 2010]; The Ohio-born conceptual artist uses LED lights to project large, block-lettered scrolling text across broad stretches of public spaces -- usually buildings of particular importance -- in international cities. She's been doing so since 1996, from Singapore to San Diego. On December 7, Portland joins the list, when Holzer will project a text onto the facade of the Portland Museum of Art. Text has been Holzer's preferred medium for more than 30 years. ( (The Phoenix.com, 4 Jan. 2013) )
