Thinking of you

Thinking of You is the catalogue of the Barbara Kruger survey organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York from July 13 to October 22, 2000.

MIT Press and the Museum of Contemporary Art published the 268-page hardcover in 1999. Ann Goldstein and Rosalyn Deutsche are credited with texts and Lorraine Wild with the design. Booksellers list further contributors: Katherine Dieckmann, Steven Heller, Gary Indiana, Carol Squiers and Lynne Tillman. The MOP Library catalogue dates the Los Angeles run to 1999–2000, and the Whitney’s installation photographs include Untitled (who speaks?/who is silent?) (1990).

Kruger was born in 1945. Since the late 1970s she has used images, text and technology to question established power structures and social constructs, according to David Zwirner. MOP Library lists her media as photographs, vinyl records, sculpture, video, installation, posters and magazine covers, with power, sexuality and representation among her subjects. Her collected essays and reviews appear in Remote Control, also from MIT Press.
