Untitled (Selections from Truisms, Inflammatory Essays, The Living Series, The Survival Series, Under a Rock, Laments, and Child Text), 1989. Extended helical tricolor L.E.D. electronic-display signboard, site-specific dimensions.
Of the 250+ truisms that appear to exist, I put my favorites at the top in a bold font. They're followed by all the others I could find. Don't expect Plato, Socrates, Will Rogers or Mark Twain. Bear in mind, Holzer was an artist - not a philosopher. Her truisms - whether you find yourself in accord, rolling your eyes or questioning their contradictory sentiments - are intended to merely inspire thought.
