| "'Laments' was developed by Jenny Holzer as a body of textual work for Dia. The accompanying exhibition consisted of thirteen texts engraved into a continuous row of stone sarcophagi that recount what Holzer identified as 'voices of the dead'. These lamentations expressed the thoughts of one infant, two children and ten adults... A publication was created to document the thirteen texts." (from https://www.diaart.org)
The exhibition was on show from 2 March 1989 – 18 February 1990. |
