Smashed to pieces in the still of the night - Zerschmettert in Stücke im Frieden der Nacht (Vienna, 1991)

Lawrence Weiner (born February 10, 1942) was one of the central figures of conceptual art.

He was born in the Bronx, New York.

Weiner's early work included experiments with shaped canvas, and cutting out squares from carpeting or walls. In 1968, when Sol LeWitt came up with his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, Weiner formulated his famous Declaration of Intent (1968): "1. The artist may construct the piece. 2. The piece may be fabricated. 3. The piece need not built. Each being equal and consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rests with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership"

Weiner created his first book Statements in 1968, a small 64 page paperback with texts describing projects. Published by The Louis Kellner Foundation and Seth Siegelaub, "Statements" is considered one of the seminal conceptual artist's books of the era. He was a contributor to the famous Xeroxbook also published by Seth Siegelaub in 1968. Since the early 1970s, wall installations have been his primary medium. Nevertheless, Weiner works in a wide variety of media, including video, film, books, audio tapes, sculpture, performance, installation, and graphic art.

The artist Lawrence Weiner is not to be confused with the composer Lawrence Weiner, who was born in 1932.

Grisha Bruskin puts his own spin on symbols

San Francisco Chronicle - Dec 30 3:59 AM

Fallen monuments have an immediacy that standing ones seldom achieve. The American spinners of the Iraq invasion knew this when they made a media event of GIs toppling a big bronze Saddam Hussein in Baghdad's al-Firdos Square. So did photojournalists...

Tribute to a famed N.Y. gallery

The Philadelphia Inquirer - Dec 22 12:34 AM

A show celebrating White Columns, New York's oldest alternative space and one known for giving early, museum-quality shows to emerging artists (including such now-boldface names as John Currin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Gary Simmons, and Sue Williams), might sound like a tall order for a small Philadelphia-based gallery.
