A key figure in Conceptual Art, Lawrence Weiner long pursued inquiries into language and the art-making process. From his pioneering installation works of the 1960s and '70s through his recent digital projects, Weiner posited a radical redefinition of the artist/viewer relationship and the very nature of the artwork. Translating his investigations into linguistic structures and visual systems across varied formats and manifestations, Weiner also produced books, films, videos, performances and audio works. - Biography excerpted from Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI), New York.
