# Barbara Kruger: *The History of Tears*

Oct 7, 2026 – Jan 25, 2027 · on view, just opened · Rotunda and the 24 display cases of the Passage

Monumental texts on the Rotunda walls, slogans in the Passage display cases and two videos, in a new installation by Barbara Kruger.

Made for the building, the installation covers Tadao Ando’s curved walls with quotations drawn from George Orwell’s 1984 and Aimé Césaire’s Notebook of a Return to My Native Land, while the 24 display cases become lightboxes carrying Kruger’s own commands. Two videos, among them Power, Pleasure, Desire, Disgust, first shown in 1996 at the Wexner Center, are reinstalled within it.
