Lawrence Weiner’s primary medium is language, often in combination with red, yellow, blue coloured signs, or in mere black and white. He is a New York and Amsterdam-based sculptor who prefers to make art that is accessible, open-ended, mutable and transferable. In the ‘Art Meets Science Multiple’ the artist skipped linguistic language completely, making this work an uncommon outspoken pictorial piece within his oeuvre.

The depicted drawing here is a draft for a new envelope as soon as the first run of 1992 is out of stock. Until today this never happened. The image on the brown envelope suggests that the multiple ought to be installed as depicted. In fact at a later stage Lawrence Weiner preferred to have the piece installed as one likes, although he did not want to have that explicitly mentioned as such.

A light hearted text by Ben Vautier on the cardboard box reads:
“Qui est Ben?
Je suis né le 18 Juillet 1935 à Naples de mère Irlandaise et Occitane père Suise Français. J’ai vécu en Turquie, Egypte et Grèce. J’arrive à Nice en 1949. Je cherche à faire ce qui n’a pas été fait. J’ai peur d’être un raté, j’aime les spaghetti parfois l’art m’ennui, j’ai envie d’être un arbre, je suis abonné au Monde, je perds la mémoire et ça m’embête, j’aime les extrêmes en art, j’expose un peu partout, mais ça m’angoisse, je vis actuellement à Nice avec ma femme Annie dans les collines, il ya un tilleul devant la maison, mes enfants sont grands et je perds tous mes Opinels. Ben”
