Description

ABOUT OUT OF SIGHT

OUT OF SIGHT is a participatory floor installation that aims to inspire and engage people  through visualization. The work, which is modeled on a hopscotch, physicalizes positive  thinking through the use of Weiner’s signature typographic texts. When a passerby engages  with OUT OF SIGHT, stepping across and over phrases like “Spit into the wind and hope for  the best,” they are saying yes to a culture of hope, self-determination and possibility. OUT OF  SIGHT is not only a work of art but also an enlivening experience for each person who  encounters it.  

The installation is uniquely adaptable to indoor and outdoor locations in parks, plazas,  museums and schools.  

OUT OF SIGHT’S AUDIENCE 

OUT OF SIGHT (produced by STVGTV) has been created for visitors of all ages and all walks of life. Teenagers and  young people especially may find it poignant as they consider the direction of their lives while  facing important ethical, spiritual and emotional decisions. Versions of the work will be created  in different languages to facilitate installations throughout the world. 

OUT OF SIGHT PRESENTING PARTNERS

OUT OF SIGHT has been installed in Miami, Melbourne, Belgium, East Hampton, Chicago and Singapore (with additional cities currently in development) at top museums, public parks and civic spaces. Currently, OUT OF SIGHT is on view across the city of San Francisco.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Lawrence Weiner was a seminal figure in Conceptual Art, and has been an integral force from  movement’s creation in the 1960s to the present day. Over that time, his work has taken on a  variety of forms – often typographic or text-based – but has been unwavering in its pursuit of  expressing the power of language as “sculpture” in which the elements described in the text  are the essential constructive elements of the work. 

Exhibition partners

A participatory public art installation by artist Lawrence Weiner, OUT OF SIGHT brings the artist’s signature texts off of the wall and onto the floor. The installations, some of which reach over 60 feet, are based on a hopscotch pathway that encourages participants and passersby to reflect and explore the power of self-actualization and empowerment.
