Lawrence Weiner Erasure.
Review by Rob Myers.
How can you erase a work of Conceptual Art, and what does it mean to
try? Armed only with a biro and a sketchpad, Michael Szpakowski takes us
on a critical journey into one of Western art's most radical movements
with a mash-up of the ideas of Lawrence Weiner and Robert Rauschenberg.
Michael Szpakowski's "Lawrence Weiner Erasure", 2012, presents itself as
an erasure of Lawrence Weiner's "A RUBBER BALL THROWN ON THE SEA", 1969.
It takes the form of a handwritten text on a drawing pad accompanied by
the ballpoint pen used to write it and an edition of framed photographs
of them.
