“Memory and Regret: Jenny Holzer’s “Dust Paintings”” in Hyperallergic (2014-09-20).
Notes from Source: Is an exhibition ever too beautiful for its own good? Jenny Holzer’s new show at Cheim & Read, Dust Paintings, is ravishing. But the sensuality of these text-based abstractions, done in oil on linen in mostly muted colors, runs counter to their content, which is derived from declassified government reports of brutalization and death during the Afghan War.
