With A Warm Embrace (Come What May)

Limited Edition Print - Silkscreen

He considers himself a sculptor instead of a conceptualist and led the way in presenting art as language. Weiner believes language is material for construction. This is why he describes his medium as "language and material referred to." He also invents new fonts to accommodate different techniques and mediums.

Weiner is a self-taught artist. He used to "read the walls" full of graffiti, as a kid, in South Bronx. But Lawrence Weiner saw it as art and believes the value of his practice exists within the words, not within its physical exhibitions. Weiner's perspective allows him to explore the connection between human psychology, art, and language.

Weiner's work can be displayed in any form, but he still makes sure to be part of the process. He takes part in detailing the size of the font, the location of the paint or vinyl letters. Weiner also invents new fonts when needed.

What is Performance Art?

Performance presented within the context of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary. It may be scripted or unscripted, random or orchestrated carefully; spontaneous or may carefully be planned without the participation of the audience. Performance can be through the media or live and the artist performing can either be present or not. The situation can involve the four basic elements: space, performer's body/his presence through a medium, time and performer-audience relationship. Artwork constitutes actions of a group or an individual at a particular time and space.
