Lawrence Weiner

Installed in each otherwise empty room of the gallery, as well as in its long hallway, is a single text piece by the great American conceptualist, spanning three decades of his career. (Language is Weiner’s medium, but he considers himself to be a sculptor.) “Inherent Innate Tension” takes possession of the front room, as sans serif vinyl letters advance across the floor until the final word is stretched in two parts as it proceeds up the wall, the very picture of “tension”‘s meaning. “The Boulders on Top Rent & Split” has a more stately air in its location between two windows in the back room. Each work here is an incandescent reminder of Weiner’s radical gift for rendering thought into form. (Marian Goodman; Through April 22.)
