Been thinking about Jenny Holzer’s Truisms (1977-79) lately. Her masterful concoction of poignant cynicism, public media branding, and starkly aggressive typography mirroring the prevalent ignorance of the status quo.

Unfortunately, nearly 50 years later…

“Anger or Hate can [still] be a useful motivating force.”

and, sadly, it appears …

“Government is [still] a burden on the people.”
