Private View: Jenny Holzer at Blenheim Palace 

American artist Jenny Holzer unveiled her latest show at an expansive country house in Oxfordshire-the location of Blenheim Art Foundation. The artist's installation, which extends across the historic site, explores-in gigantic walls of light, stonework, painting and installation-themes of power, conflict, and the aftermath of war.
For the Blenheim Palace installation, Holzer partnered with the Not Forgotten Association (NFA), a British charity that serves the needs of wounded, sick and disabled service members of the British military. The NFA have gathered a large archive of first-person testimonials from survivors of war, which Holzer used in the artwork-addressing the ways that an understanding of war can never be separated from lived, personal experience.
