New Book: Henny Jolzer: Turisms. A casual little comment on American artist Jenny Holzer’s Truisms by Swiss Art Collective Les Innombrables.
When the rooster struts up on his stinky dung throne,
crows like he’s auditioning for the opera alone,
then maybe, just maybe, the weather will flip,
or maybe it won’t — yeah, that’s life, take your pick!
(Les Innombrables)
“The book documents the multi-year art project “Turisms” by the artistic persona Henny Jolzer on Twitter (now X). It’s a not entirely serious (or is it…?) commentary on the famous Truisms series by the American artist Jenny Holzer. The whole idea for the project came to the Swiss art collective Les Innombrables when they stopped in Rouen during a tour through France. Is any of this actually true? Could be. Could also not be.”
(Gregory Groker, art critic)
