LAWRENCE WEINER「 OUT OF SIGHT 」

“视野之外”是美国艺术家劳伦斯·维纳所作的语类结构装置。“视野之外”构建在“跳房子”游戏的概念，作品灵活易变，并适用于公共机构。另外，这件作品被设计为适用于多重语言下进行展示。劳伦斯·维纳1942年出生于纽约的布朗克斯南部，并成长于此。在1950年代末至1960年初，他游历美国、加拿大和墨西哥，以此孕育创作灵感，随后在1960年，维纳在加州的Mill Valley举办了首个个展。

OUT OF SIGHT is a generic structure by American artist Lawrence Weiner. Based upon the concept of a hopscotch and designed for public institutions, OUT OF SIGHT is flexible. The work is conceived to be exhibited in multiple languages.

Weiner’s signature is his text-based work. His language takes on a new dimension with OUT OF SIGHT, where its presentation takes the form of a game that invites viewers to engage with the work through motion.

Locations already on the calendar for OUT OF SIGHT include Miami, New York, Houston, Chicago and Shanghai. Additional venues in Asia, Europe and the United States will be confirmed in 2017. At NGV International the work is installed in English.

Lawrence Weiner was born in 1942 in the South Bronx, New York City. After growing up in the city, he spent the late 1950s and early 1960s venturing in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Weiner’s first exhibition as an artist was in a field in Mill Valley, California, in 1960. Since then, he has maintained:

ART IS THE EMPIRICAL FACT OF THE RELATIONSHIPS OF OBJECTS TO OBJECTS IN RELATION TO HUMAN BEINGS & NOT DEPENDANT UPON HISTORICAL PRECEDENT FOR EITHER USE OR LEGITIMACY

The artist divides his time between his New York City studio and his boat in Amsterdam.
