How can you erase a work of Conceptual Art, and what does it mean to try? Armed only with a biro and a sketchpad, Michael Szpakowski takes us on a critical journey into one of Western art's most radical movements with a mash-up of the ideas of Lawrence Weiner and Robert Rauschenberg.

Michael Szpakowski's "Lawrence Weiner Erasure", 2012, presents itself as an erasure of Lawrence Weiner's "A RUBBER BALL THROWN ON THE SEA", 1969. It takes the form of a handwritten text on a drawing pad accompanied by the ballpoint pen used to write it and an edition of framed photographs of them.
