language + the materials referred to

Lawrence Weiner designates “language + the materials referred to” as the medium for his work, allowing him to situate his sculptural practice in a wide range of geographical locations and cultural systems (or “points of reception”, in Weiner’s words). This course explores writing as a creative and critical strategy through themes such as art writing; materiality and genre; the aesthetics of the dematerialized artifact; language as sculpture, sound art, and the role of language in conceptual art.
