Born in 1942 in the bronx, new york, weiner lives and works in new york and amsterdam. Internationally regarded, weiner has an expansive following that reaches across several generations.

though recognised as one of the central figures pioneering conceptual art in the 1960s, he identifies himself not as a conceptualist but as a sculptor whose medium is “language + the materials referred to”. Since the 1970s weiner has been best known for his striking wall ‘sculptures’.

mainly using paint or vinyl, his works carve walls with thought, presenting provocative texts that are open to interpretation by the viewer. Weiner has presented a number of projects and exhibitions across the uk since the early 1970s: at ica, london; pier arts centre, orkney; the fruitmarket gallery, edinburgh; the henry moore sculpture trust, halifax; art transpennine, hull; inverleith house in edinburgh; several engagements with bury art gallery, including their text festivals; a solo show at the national maritime museum, london; and occasional shows in commercial galleries, the most recent at lisson gallery in 2013.

weiner’s work is also represented in the tate collection, including as part of artist rooms. Vitrines in the slg’s entrance corridor contain documentation from some of these events from weiner’s past, including his association with factory records in the 1980s.
