Jenny Holzer at Hauser & Wirth
At Hauser & Wirth’s new West Hollywood location, an LED column swings through the gallery like a battering ram. The artwork, by neo-conceptualist artist Jenny Holzer, is a text piece that was made with the assistance of AI technology. For the piece, titled WTF, Holzer utilized text from Trump speeches and QAnon posts, which scroll across the column letter by letter.
