Chartered airplanes will fly banners created by 15 text-savvy artists including Richard Prince, Jenny Holzer, Lawrence Weiner, and Martin Creed high above the waterfront every afternoon for four hours for the duration of Art Basel Miami. Here is Ed Ruscha's inclusion, entitled People Getting Ready To Do Things.
Lisson Gallery presents an exhibition of new works by seminal American artist, Lawrence Weiner. Widely recognised for his pioneering role in the development of conceptualism in the 1960s, Weiner has spent the last five decades deconstructing artistic practices into various concepts of language and idea. In his new show, Weiner focuses on the concept of truncation, a mathematical term referring to the discarding of unnecessary digits, as an inherent meaning and material reality. His works will populate the gallery walls on a grand and small scale, and will include a new piece occupying the entirety of a 12 metre wall. Be That As It May will be on view until January 12, 2013 at Lisson Gallery, 52-54 Bell Street, London
