Of the 28 white granite benches lining a walkway in the garden/sculpture park area across from the #WalkerArtCenter, this is the one I looked down on and read. Thank you, #JennyHolzer, I guess.

I shot in Times Square repeatedly for many years from the 1980s thru early 2000s. Here's a bunch of the Holzer Truisms from 1995. I should start scanning my slides...lots more in the archives.

While marginally MicroMessaging, the audience reach of Jenny Holzer's Truisms on the marquees in 1995 was still limited in NYC's Times Square. Most people avoided or traversed Times Square very quickly back then.
