Berlin art notes


Jenny Holzer (text/projection) 
Endgame (return to painting) 


"Her Endgame show is a measured and complex thesis on the fraught relationship between painting and politics. The paintings are built on a parallel: Holzer pairs the vocabulary of abstract painting with the authoritative and dispassionate language of classified counter-terrorism documents, a language that — in its implacable bureaucratic logic — turns torture and violence into abstractions."
