The Spanish island of Ibiza is the latest destination for US artist Jenny Holzer’s trademark LED light works which are on show at two spaces, the Lune Rouge and Art Projects Ibiza (Are you Alive? Until 17 December). The LED pieces incorporate the artist’s Truisms series (1977-79) as well as transcriptions of US government documents (a series of new footstools and benches crafted from stone such as Azul Bahia are also inscribed with some of the Truisms maxims including “Everyone’s work is equally important”). But a special site-specific piece will make waves on the island. “In response to her time in Ibiza, Holzer will undertake her first site-specific commission on the island. Using raw materials from the Ibicencan countryside and coastline, she will engrave poems on cliffs, monumental boulders and on bedrock,” a press statement says. Private viewings of Holzer's elementary verse can be arranged through Lune Rouge and Art Projects Ibiza.
