Steiner convened a group of artists, writers, and activists to join her in responding to Jenny Holzer’s 1989 text-based installation, Laments. Holzer identified the thirteen texts that comprise Laments as ‘voices of the dead,’ a visual choir in response to the raging HIV\/AIDS epidemic and government inaction. Over the protracted COVID-19 lockdown, Steiner developed the idea to organize an evening for the voices of the living to lament the crises of today.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePages: 140 \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2023 \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e21.7 x 12 cm.\/ Riso printed \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition Size: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e750\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Well Read","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51411057508682,"sku":"ref1019","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/6496\/0842\/files\/20260130-2132_018.jpg?v=1772553342","url":"https:\/\/wellread.pt\/products\/extdemic-a-retrospective-on-jenny-holzer-s-laments","provider":"Well Read","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
