Lawrence Weiner was an American conceptual artist whose practice used short textual statements to articulate material possibilities. These works describe actions or conditions—“removed,” “shifted,” “placed”—without requiring physical execution. The text itself becomes sculpture, situated on walls, façades, books, or public spaces.
Weiner’s approach emphasizes viewer interpretation, offering language as a shared, open structure rather than fixed form.
