Jenny Holzer is featured in a solo exhibition titled SOFTER: Jenny Holzer at Blenheim Palace at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, through December 31, 2017. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, Blenheim Palace was built in 1704 to honor John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, in thanks for his victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. The palace is also the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. The Blenheim Art Foundation organizes exhibitions within the space and Holzer is the fourth artist to showcase contemporary art at Blenheim Palace. The artist is exhibiting new work directly addressing our military and political history in relation to themes which have figured prominently in her practice since the 1980s: power, conflict and activism.
제니 홀저, 영국 블레넘 궁전에서 개인전 《SOFTER: Jenny Holzer at Blenheim Palace》개최
제니 홀저는 영국 옥스퍼드셔 우드스톡에 있는 18세기 대저택 블레넘 궁전 (Blenheim Palace)에서 12월 31일까지 개인전 《SOFTER: Jenny Holzer at Blenheim Palace》을 개최한다. 1987년 유네스코 세계문화유산으로 지정된 블레넘 궁전은 1704년 블레넘 전투에서 승리를 거둔 존 처칠(John Churchill, 말버러 대공)의 공로를 기리기 위해 세워졌으며 윈스턴 처칠의 출생지로도 잘 알려져 있다. 블레넘 문화재단 (Blenheim Art Foundation)이 공간을 활용하여 전시를 개최하고 있으며 네 번째 현대미술작가로 제니 홀저가 초대되었다. 텍스트를 기반으로 정치, 사회적 이슈를 다루는 개념 작업을 선보는 작가는 이번 개인전에서 블레넘 궁전이 가지고 있는 군사적, 정치적인 역사에 착안하여 전쟁이라는 보편적인 주제를 다루는 작품들을 선보인다.
