removing it from its everyday context can weaponize it. … Her work
has shifted focus from feminist ideology.
*Hyperallergic*
Bold and convincing, occasionally overblunt and occasionally
mischievous. Part backward looking and part revision and update for
the constantly moving present, it embodies and thickens Kruger’s
refracting of the language of advertising and propaganda through an
anticapitalist, humanist lens.
*New York Times*

You', gathers together this seminal artist’s vast body of work.

practice, taking in the groundbreaking artist’s many site-specific
installations, works on vinyl, and multichannel videos, among many
other mediums.
*Dazed*

cultural shifts, and the powers that be in a rapidly changing
world.
