The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents “Barbara Kruger: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You,” a major exhibition devoted to the artist’s work running from Sunday, March 20, through Sunday, July 17.
Spanning four decades, the exhibition is the largest and most comprehensive presentation of Kruger’s work in 20 years. It spans her single-channel videos from the 1980s to digital productions of the last two decades, and includes large-scale vinyl room wraps, multichannel video installations and audio soundscapes throughout LACMA’s campus. Works have already been displayed on a fence facing Wilshire Boulevard around the museum’s ongoing construction project.
As an active consumer and vigilant viewer of popular culture, Kruger grapples with the accelerated ways pictures and words instantaneously flow through media. How they are simultaneously played and re-played informs her most recent video works, which are a highlight of the new exhibition.
LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Blvd. For information, visit lacma.org.
