Lawrence Weiner: as Far as the Eye Can SeeThe first major retrospective of Lawrence Weiner's work organized in the United States, Lawrence Weiner: as Far as the Eye Can See opens at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) on April 13, 2008, and remains on view through July 14, 2008.
A key figure associated with the emergence and foundations of conceptual art in the 1960s, Weiner remains one of the most remarkably dynamic and relevant artists working today.
Co-organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, this landmark exhibition is co-curated by MOCA Senior Curator Ann Goldstein and Whitney Museum Chief Curator and Associate Director for Programs Donna De Salvo.
Following its initial presentation at the Whitney Museum and subsequent presentation at MOCA, the exhibition will travel to K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Dusseldorf, Germany, where it will be on view from September 27, 2008 to January 4, 2009.
Lawrence Weiner: as Far as the Eye Can See is a comprehensive examination of Weiner's remarkable and cohesive oeuvre, assembling key selections and bodies of work from throughout his career of more than 40 years.
The exhibition represents the full range of Weiner's art, from the early Propeller and Removal paintings of the 1960s, to the artist's "specific and general" works using language, which has characterized his art since 1968.
Also included are works on paper, films, videos, books, posters, multiples, and audio works.
