Lawrence Weiner – Out of Sight
Dvir Gallery is happy to share that the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture presents Weiner’s work, the Out of Sight through the end of January. “Out of Sight” references the “gamification” of learning while the viewer interacts with the marelles in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. “A person coming in with whatever situation they find themselves in, the minute they have any thoughts about themselves going From Here to There, they will be able to stand in front of the marelle and realize they first must imagine themselves doing it, that’s assuming a position,” said Weiner.

ARTnews Pays Tribute to Lawrence Weiner
Lawrence Weiner, a godfather of the Conceptual art movement of the 1960s and ’70s, has died. With his sculptural installations composed with koan-like texts, Weiner experimented with the slippery nature of language and the ways that words connote meaning. Despite the seemingly academic underpinning of his art, Weiner’s works are also imbued with a rebellious spirit that has made them accessible to—and loved by—many. Critics saw in Weiner’s work all kinds of lofty ideas about language and its limitations, but Weiner was fairly plainspoken about his art. “The purpose of the academy is to have an answer and, at the least, a solution,” he said in the oral history. “But the purpose of art is to not have an answer, it’s to question.” Access the full article by Alex Greenberg here

Lawrence Weiner, a Tribute by The Art Newspaper
Weiner rose to prominence in the late 1960s when conceptual art was gaining traction in the US. He was part of a generation of artists questioning conventional modes of making and displaying art. At the time Weiner was creating grid-based drawings, shaped canvases and ephemeral interventions that sought to delineate public spaces.
The artist’s trademark interventions, often consisting of graphic elements and enigmatic phrases, are among the most distinctive bodies of work in contemporary art.
