LAWRENCE WEINER
SCAD deFINE ART
2019
Per l’estate del 2020 MACRO presenta TRACCE / TRACES, una mostra di Lawrence Weiner prodotta dal museo per uscire dai suoi spazi canonici e svolgersi in cielo, manifestandosi in una serie di banner aerei sul tratto di litorale che va da Ladispoli ad Anzio.
Are they so sure?
[estratto da SCAD deFINE ART 2019]
Lawrence Weiner is an artist
art is to be used
by people to find their place underneath the sun
what is sculptural about your work
finding your place underneath the sun
finding dignity of your materials
art is about relations: objects to humans
you’re fine
you’re not wasting your time
i’m not a doctor, i’m not a pilot
i just want to change the world
you don’t have to be anything special
you just have to do it special
it’s not even a mistake
it’s just not necessary
honesty is not modesty
how did you survive?
the kindness of strangers
the role of the artist
what the hell
we don’t even know what art is
destroying dreams
It’s hard to talk about the sand when you’re out on the sea
all meanings we give to things we give to things
there is no right and wrong
