Trying to make certain things on the Internet totally private unless you subscribe. It's not going to work. If you can figure out how to close something down, somebody can figure out how to open it up. That's art.
Lawrence WeinerWhat 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.
Lawrence WeinerThink about it: you've already related it down to something that somebody else can understand. If art relates to something - it's like Picasso, it's like Mondrian - it's not. Art's supposed to be what it is. Using a reference of art history might help for some kind of sales, but it doesn't really help anybody. Art is what it is; it cannot be footnoted, until it enters the world. Then it has a history. Then the footnotes are the history, not the explanation.
Lawrence WeinerAccreditation. The "doctorate of fine art." I've never heard something so stupid in my entire life.
Lawrence WeinerThere is a primacy of each individual object. And we'll see! That's the whole point of making sculpture, to present a question in a physical form to people.
Lawrence WeinerI'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 Dรผsseldorf or wherever and see somebody's real show instead of this stuff just stacked around.
