Living 2

Jenny Holzer's Truism 2, mixed media sculpture featuring a grid of red, green, and yellow LED diodes within a black frame.

Mini Electric LED Sign with Diodes in Colors // Truism 2 by Jenny Holzer, created between 1977 and 1979, is a mixed media sculpture featuring a mini electric LED sign with colored diodes. The grid of lights includes red, green, and yellow diodes arranged in a structured pattern, set against a black background within a minimalist black frame. Holzer’s use of LED technology reflects her focus on blending text, light, and modern communication methods to provoke thought on societal issues. The repetition and rhythm of the lights create a coded visual experience that challenges the viewer to engage with the deeper meaning behind the seemingly simple composition, emblematic of Holzer's conceptual approach.

What is ‘light and space’?

The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
