Conceptual art is often so far-fetched and personal to the producing artist that the public struggles to perceive the underlining meaning. In 1977 Jenny Holzer pushed past the boundary producing short statements using standard text these statements were labeled "Truism's". Printed on shirts, hats and posters these works were later displayed on a large scale using neon/LED signs and Xenon projection. Jenny Holzer displays her work minus a signature or any identifying mark so that the work remains anonymous in an effort to not "Cloud" the purpose of the text. When viewing her work remember art can be whatever you want it to be.
