“I'm not against art fairs, in fact this last one I even made money, but the concept is really disgusting. If you're that rich to be able to hang out for two or three days, you're certainly rich enough to get on a plane and go to Munich or Düsseldorf or wherever and see somebody's real show instead of this stuff just stacked around.” IfsArtMadeTwoRealEnoughFactsShowsAbleLastsThreeStuffRichConceptsFairsPlanesHanging OutDisgustingMunich Author:Lawrence Weiner
“The concept of who your audience is becomes more important than your site. Sometimes you can be commissioned to do a piece in Strasburg, and it works. Sometimes you're commissioned to do a piece somewhere else and it doesn't work, but then it moves to another city, the people embrace it, and becomes part of them. You just misjudged the needs of the people. Art is about giving people material and things to work with to fulfill whatever needs they have.” PeopleNeedsGivingArtImportantSometimesMovingCitiesAudiencePiecesMaterialsArt IsConceptsEmbraceSiteSomewhere Else Author:Lawrence Weiner
“What art is not processed? "Conceptual art." Somebody making a painting has to conceive of the size. I don't understand where these words came from. I can't accept the fact that the concept of art as our concept of humanity is expanding.” ArtI CanFactsHumanityAcceptingPaintingArt IsConceptsSizeExpandingConceptual Art Author:Lawrence Weiner
