LAWRENCE WEINER @ MOCA GEFFEN

This week, New York-based artist Lawrence Weiner's exhibit, As Far As The Eye Can See at MOCA Geffen Contemporary in Little Tokyo opened!

Lawrence Weiner: AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE provides a comprehensive examination of Weiner’s remarkable and cohesive oeuvre, assembling key selections and bodies of work from throughout his 40-year career. Lawrence Weiner has defined art as “the relationship of human beings to objects and objects to objects in relation to human beings,” and that premise remains at the core of all of his work. The conditions of a work of art have been the basis of Weiner’s approach since 1967, using language as a material object.

I personally enjoyed this exhibit - I had the opportunity hit it up at the Whitney Museum of American Art when I was in NYC this past winter. I was amazed at how powerfully words can be expressed, especially through art as a medium, and how even the most simple forms of art becomes a form of language - as a way to communicate its origin, meaning, and purpose.

There's nothing like wandering around a museum full of good exhibits for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, so I say to you: go...AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
