Lawrence Weiner’s use of graphic design has always been of fascination for graphic designers. ‘What makes Weiner’s work seductive to graphic designers is his resolutely non-apologetic method of displaying words without need for any explanation.’* But in this text a comparative analysis is made of different voices about Weiner’s use of graphics & typography.
Next to a speculative history of Weiner’s formal language, two interviews—with graphic designer Linda Van Deursen and artist Nora Turato—pay attention to Weiner’s enduring legacy.
