20-21 Visual Arts Centre is delighted to present our new exhibition ARTIST ROOMS Jenny Holzer, presented in partnership with Tate and National Galleries of Scotland.

Pioneering American artist Jenny Holzer uses text as her primary material and remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art. Known for powerful, provocative installations and her creative use of electronic technology, she produces art that is impossible to ignore.

ARTIST ROOMS presents the work of international artists in solo exhibitions drawn from a national touring collection jointly owned by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. Its programme reaches audiences across the UK and is developed through local partnerships.

About the artist

Jenny Holzer

An influential American artist whose text‑driven works use LED signs, large‑scale projections, stone benches, and city‑integrated installations to confront power, vulnerability, and social injustice. Her signature Truisms and public text pieces transform everyday spaces into platforms for critical reflection and political dialogue.
