A woven blanket by Lawrence Weiner poses a question, in the form of a statement, to any and everyone.

It was all sculpture for Lawrence Weiner, who used text-based artworks to speak with the world. An edition of jacquard blankets emerge as the culmination of a collaborative process which predates the artist's death on December 2, 2021.

Momentarily a hammer, then a hammock and now a blanket, HERE & NOW engages one of Weiner’s typically-amorphous phrases in a game of repetition – blurring its edges and drawing its poetic undercurrents to the fore.

As ever, context is neither required nor provided.

Weiner’s distinct take on what it means to make art accessible is an enduring point of reference for Avant Arte. In his own words, “you don’t have to wear special shoes to see art.”

Behind the scenes

Lawrence Weiner1 collaborationLawrence Weiner dismantled fundamental assumptions about art – replacing traditional forms with a simple and accessible language of his own. In 1968 he created his first artist book, a compact softcover volume with its price ($1.95) printed on the cover. Each page contains an artwork. Each artwork is a sculpture. By extension, the book itself was presented by the artist as an exhibition. A few months later Weiner published his seminal Declaration of Intent. 1. The artist may construct the piece. 2. The piece may be fabricated. 3. The piece need not be 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.
