Barbara Kruger designs the third Whitney site-specific installation at 820 Washington Street on the corner of Washington and Gansevoort Streets. Visible from the street and The Highline, Kruger’s installation provocatively writes itself into the activity and history of the Whitney’s future downtown building.

When speaking about the inspiration behind the installation, Kruger stated, “Because I’ve spent so many years in lower Manhattan, the streets are rife with remembrance. So I’ve tried to mark the site with a gathering of words about history, value, and the pleasures and pains of social life.”
