“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
“The way I make art - the way a lot of people make art - is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.
