Further information:
"Weiner's core work ultimately relies on text – both through a flow of books and wall 'sculptures', as he calls them, of slogans installed in a distinctive and legible fashion. He uses language as a way of opening up discourse. 'But language allows it to go from culture to culture without becoming exotic'.
"He is modest, admitting the possibility of failure. 'Art, if it really and truly succeeds, is going to change other people's lives. If it doesn't succeed, then, well… well you did the best you could. And that's all you can say as an artist'." https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/in-the-studio-lawrence-weiner-artist-9065367.html

"Eve Sonneman is a photist. Her medium is light, as in lightness of being, radiance, speed, clarity and warmth. She is internationally renowned as a photographer, with a career that shoots across the divide between “art” and “trade” as surely as light does time and space."
