Krugerâs oeuvre hinges on the malleability of language, and how removing it from its everyday context can weaponize it. ⌠Her work has shifted focus from feminist ideology.
- Brehmer Brehmer, Hyperallergic
Bold and convincing, occasionally overblunt and occasionally mischievous. Part backward looking and part revision and update for the constantly moving present, it embodies and thickens Krugerâs refracting of the language of advertising and propaganda through an anticapitalist, humanist lens.
- Jon Caramanica, New York Times

- Emily Dinsdale, Dazed
