Lawrence Weiner: OUT OF SIGHT

OUT OF SIGHT is a generic structure by American artist Lawrence Weiner. Based upon the concept of a hopscotch and designed for public institutions, OUT OF SIGHT is flexible. The work is conceived to be exhibited in multiple languages.

Weiner’s signature is his text-based work. His language takes on a new dimension with OUT OF SIGHT, where its presentation takes the form of a game that invites viewers to engage with the work through motion.

Locations already on the calendar for OUT OF SIGHT include Melbourne, New York, Houston, Chicago, and Shanghai. Additional venues in Asia, Europe, and the United States will be confirmed in 2017. At PAMM the work is installed in a bilingual English-Spanish presentation.

Lawrence Weiner was born in 1942 in the South Bronx, New York City. After growing up in the city, he spent the late 1950s and early 1960s venturing in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Weiner’s first exhibition as an artist was in a field in Mill Valley, California, in 1960.
