KRITIS, Joris; TURATO, Nora; VAN DEURSEN, Linda
Revue Faire – To look at things #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.

[publishers’ note]

Les graphistes ont toujours été fascinés par la manière dont Lawrence Weiner fait usage du design graphique. Ce numéro de Faire propose une analyse comparée de l’usage que fait Weiner du graphisme et de la typographie, à travers un texte de Joris Kritis et des entretiens avec la designer graphique Linda van Deursen et l’artiste Nora Turato.
