Bilbao Under High Graphic Tension

Until November, the Guggenheim Bilbao is hosting the first major Spanish exhibition dedicated to Barbara Kruger, the American icon of feminist art and visual criticism. With her shocking posters, acid red typography, and ironic injunctions, her graphic language has become cult, attacking consumerism and stereotypes with the rigor of a luxury slogan turned on its head. In the museum’s monumental spaces, Kruger offers her unsettling perspective and thought-provoking art.
