Turning Some Pages was produced in conjunction with the printing of a limited edition journal of the same name by the Howard Smith Paper Group, a British paper merchant. The action of reading a book informs the structure of this motion drawing. Abstract arrangements of shapes and images of dice are interspersed with cryptic aphorisms; arrows suggest the turning of a page.
Lawrence Weiner was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1942 and currently lives and works in New York. A key figure in Conceptual Art, Lawrence Weiner has long pursued inquiries into language and the art-making process. In his recent series of digital works, Weiner deploys animated drawings and epigrammatic text that interact in a symbolic language. Ultimately, these visual and linguistic systems take on provocative narrative meaning. He has received numerous grants and awards and his work has been widely exhibited internationally.
