Art Wall: Lawrence Weiner

Since the 1970s, wall installations, inscribed with statements written by the artist, have been a primary medium for Weiner. The lettering can be fabricated by anyone as long as the artist’s instructions are followed. For his BAMPFA commission Weiner considers the specific location and architecture of the site to determine the compositional arrangement of the block lettering, which hovers at the center of the expansive white wall above the Crane Forum’s wooden steps.
