Lawrence Weiner: Terminal Boundaries and a Natural Water Course Diverted Reduced or Displaced - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A facsimile of the never-before-published, pocket-size artist's book conceived and executed by Weiner in 1969

Made in 1969 as an artist's book but never published, Terminal Boundaries and A natural water course diverted reduced or displaced comprises two books in one--a tête-bêche with two front covers that can be read from either side by turning the book upside down. This facsimile publication contains two related bodies of work from American conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner (1942-2012) represented as typewritten statements on paper that Weiner pasted to the pages of a small notebook. Distinct from his contemporaries associated with the Land Art movement, Weiner constructs his landscape interventions in language-the specific and/or general act and the location are stated-offering the reader/viewer the opportunity to consider each work's existence, to build it in their mind's eye.
