Lawrence Weiner is an internationally renowned artist who has been creating
significant artworks for the last 40 years. His public projects, often
texts appearing as part of the urban landscape, have defied many of the
preconceptions of "public art" and monumentality. Weiner's well-known
text works exist as gallery artworks as well as in film, video, CDs and
many artist's books. Major museum exhibitions of Weiner's work since the
1960s have been presented at the Dia Center for the Arts, New York, Galerie
Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and most
recently at the Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin.
This exhibition is a collaboration with, and made possible through, the
cooperation and support of Con Edison and Roman Stone.
