Belief + Doubt

           On august 20th, 2012 the Smithonian's Hirshhorn museum opened Barbara Kruger's exhibition "Belief + Doubt" which filled the entire lower level lobby and extended into the bookstore. The entire 6,700 square feet of the gallery was covered with Kruger's work in red, black, and white color scheme. The purpose of this project was to raise doubt and awareness to the public about social and political issues through rhetorical questions and statements. Her provocative art interrogates the country's economic and governmental circumstances. Some of the works included "Who is beyond is the law?", "Who speaks?", and "Who is silent?" among others.
