Collect a hand-painted ceramic amphora by Jenny Holzer, launched in support of charity: water.

Jenny Holzer’s texts make bold statements about the modern world. In their lyricism, however, the phrases expose the subjectivity and mutable character of truth. They instruct and inform, while questioning the ways individuals respond to their political, social, physical, psychological and personal environments. From her Survival texts, Jenny chose ‘IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY’ to encircle an amphora painted to resemble aged terracotta.

The artwork belongs to a series of seven, conceived and crafted in a transatlantic collaboration between Artspace and Avant Arte. Proceeds will support charity: water in their endeavour to end the global water crisis.

Jenny Holzer2 collaborationsFor more than forty years, Jenny Holzer has presented her astringent ideas, arguments and sorrows in public places and international exhibitions, including Times Square, the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Bilbao, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi. Her medium, whether a T-shirt, plaque or electronic sign, is writing, and the public dimension is integral to her work. Starting in the 1970s with street posters in New York City and continuing through her recent light projections on landscape and architecture, her practice has rivalled ignorance and violence with humour, kindness and courage.
