An incisive critic of popular culture, Barbara Kruger addresses the viewer of her work directly as a way of exposing the power dynamics underlying identity, desire, and consumerism. Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You., Kruger’s large-scale commission for MoMA, will envelop the Marron Family Atrium with the artist’s bold textual statements about truth, belief, and power.

Combining images drawn from mass-media photographs with provocatively concise language, Kruger has been creating explorations of social relationships imbued with her distinctive sense of urgency and humor for more than 40 years. MoMA’s installation will tap into the artist’s long-standing interest in architecture to immerse viewers in a thought-provoking environment, offering multiple points of entry and perspective.
