Revue Faire 49: Lawrence Weiner

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.” [Russel Holmes, Eye Magazine] Yet, in this issue of Faire, a comparative analysis is made of Weiner’s use of graphics & typography: next to a speculative history of Weiner’s formal language by Joris Kritis, two interviews—with graphic designer Linda Van Deursen and artist Nora Turato—draw attention to Weiner’s enduring legacy.
