Lawrence Weiner
A key figure in Conceptual Art, Lawrence Weiner has long pursued
inquiries into language and the art-making process. From his pioneering
installation works of the 1960s and '70s through his new digital
projects, Weiner posits a radical redefinition of the artist/viewer
relationship and the very nature of the artwork. Translating his
investigations into linguistic structures and visual systems across
varied formats and manifestations, Weiner has also produced books, films,
videos, performances and audio works.
Weiner was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1942. His works have been
widely exhibited internationally. Lawrence Weiner lives and works in New
York City.
