Anybody interested in taking a look at this?

MARCH 6 - APRIL 24
BARBARA KRUGER - exhibition
Mary Boone NYC
745 Fifth Avenue
New York City, NEW YORK 10151

What is it?

Barbera Kruger is an artist, so presumably it's an art exhibition? I'd love to go if I was in New York. She often uses fairly simple monochromatic pictures and striking phrases.

Here is one of her pictures:

Here is a link to the gallery. I believe this particular piece is a four-screen video project, not sure what the topic is.

I'm actually only in town until tomorrow, and the gallery's closed today, so I might not get a chance to see it. If I do I'll post more information about it.

I ended up seeing this show last week on my monthly Chelsea gallery tour. I thought it was quite pointed and effective, more so than some video installations.

It is created as a series of scenes, with two, three and four people in them. Each person as a talking head on one of the walls of the gallery. The interactions feel to be very much in a post 9/11 mindset with an underlying tension and frustration between characters. All about communication and perception.
