Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans. Barbara Kruger
Things change and work changes. Right now I like the idea of enveloping a space and getting messages across that connect to the world in ways that seem familiar but are different. Barbara Kruger
Barbara Kruger quote: "I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's..."
I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun. Barbara Kruger
I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like. Barbara Kruger
