Lawrence Weiner: Displacement

Bound in eye-catching silver cloth, Displacement is a superbly designed artist´s book recording Weiner´s 1992 show at the Dia Center for the Arts in New York--one of his greatest exhibitions, remembered fondly to this day. It is constituted primarily of Weiner´s classic typographic settings, carefully composed for the page, with a sequence of installation shots and a brief commentary on the book and exhibition by Gary Garrels. The interdependence between book and exhibition, which is a motif of Weiner´s career, here finds concise expression in a volume that is a treat to move through.
