Lawrence Weiner Interview: The Means to Answer Questions

[@maureenwalsh5454]

I could listen to this man's voice for days....

[@DaroeSeven]

None of you who are ridiculing him seem to understand the thesis of what he is trying to say. He is simplifying art to a point that anyone can interpret it. His work is plain, it's straight-forward and it holds no meaning. He said that himself, it's a means to give the viewer a chance to interpret the work anyway he or she wishes in any given time. This is what art does, and is supposed to do. His work is amazing, and spans a variety of countries. He is re-paving what seems to be rudimentary and putting it back into the mainstream understanding of art.

+Daroe Seven yet it's intriguing and mysterious. i love it.

[@DaroeSeven]

oliver13deft Yes precisely! I find his approach so incredibly intriguing and interesting

[@johnbrocado1083]

Owenuma Arts repayving no but I agree with you, also art has been dead since the 70s he's not on top of what he's doing as well as other artists like baldessari of what they're doing nowadays and after the 70s but he continues his path and I have to follow it every second of the way

[@leonardoluc6362]

Trying to say? What?

[@Phiiphayden]

thanking you kindly - indeed you have "something to say" - much appreciated Lawrence - pleased to meet-find-discover you

[@greystoke2229]

He is very charismatic and fascinating. A strong and sensitive man at the same time.

[@colecancillaartist]

One word for this Insightful For anyone who understands and is learning about the language of art.

[@T84948]

This is so heavy! Thank you so much Lawrence Weiner =)

[@ROBERTOLOVESYOU1]

this guy is fucking cool

[@solomongryziak797]

Even if this doesn't get much viewership I still think it is important to say that he is speaking dialecticaly here.

[@AndyArtistic18]

Wonderful insights. Helpful.

[@oliver13deft]

"It's all about getting that thing in that hole" he even pronounced a wall sculpture as his final sentence.

[@fifthcarcrash]

"reflection of things have a tendency to become hierarchy"

[@swingAE86]

I would see His at the same moment piece that used to be in the governors island slip next to the staten island ferry all the time from the ferry pulling in. Im sad that it was eventually removed.

[@abalint8097]

I do not understand what I am supposed to feel when I engage with his creation?

[@rodrigoajef]

Love it. Thanks

[@art18531]

My research for Master about this great Art. I wish to get connections with Lawrence Weiner

[@ppaulinka]

thank you for this. question: what's the music used in this video?

[@nikolausgerszewski2086]

I don't quite understand what he means by 'graphic design is visceral and art is sensual'.

[@AporiaEtMoi]

GENIUS

[@tennesseejermyn7705]

As aware as this dude is- this video being up is just part of what he is saying- about fooling himself that it helps- but at the same time it does but its still inherent to that system.

[@rossturcotte419]

[@neoseyes]

Art is about something you don't know?

[@slapflipable]

Inspiring

[@jonaskuck8892]

maybe he invented hipsterism

[@chrestian9764]

Has some interesting things to say. Seems like he smoked a few J's in his life.

[@neoseyes]

To pose a question is art?

[@art18531]

He is great artist

[@sequenceleaflet6568]

@RakeRocter RakeRocter That's what you're doing. He's presenting his view of art. "You dont like the way the egg tastes, you invent another way to cook it!". Never take an artist's (or anyone's) word as truth, but as a perspective. You find the truth.

[@nikolausgerszewski2086]

to pose a question that nobody has ever posed before.

[@goodboybuddy1]

‘Getting that thing in that hole’ ? You lost me there. Not what I’m about.

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super

[@kevincross2679]

i need a ciggy

[@brokendamas]

No more closeups of him rolling his tobacco. Has nothing to do with what he is saying.

[@TheTerminalExpress]

This guy smokes a lot.

[@joshdeluna55]

Is that mid

[@nononouh]

9 11:30?

[@frankjamesbonarrigo7162]

beats cleaning toilets

[@Austria88586]

Hippies ruined everything.

[@Austria88586]

Repackaged Art for Art's sake. Postmodern rubbish.

[@zenmode88]

Why so much replaying of rolling the smoke? Your editor sucks.

[@igormendonca4026]

disagreeable INFJ with developed Fe

[@ffilippop]

He should smoke less

[@reddnacpil4420]

Lazy writer, and a lazy artist. But an great talker
