Erica Baum on Lawrence Weiner
Dia:Chelsea, NYC, New York, 19.05.2015.

As a part of Dia’s Artists on Artists Lecture series, Erica Baum has given a talk about Lawrence Weiner, starting with a double title both of which are borrowed from the works of Weiner: An Accumulation of Information Taken from Here to There and Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole.

„In Conclusion, Lawrence Weiner’s statements are always presented in very precise language. This precision, this simplicity, paradoxically lends itself to layers of complexity and carries with the future endless possibilities. It is this very open endlessness that provides us with the constantly contemporary experience.“

A version of this talk was published in the journal Hotel as well.
