Lawrence Weiner, born 1942 in the Bronx, New York City, is a key
protagonist of early conceptual art. His work is characterised by
his use of language as an artistic medium. It is descriptive rather
than prescriptive and does not instruct the viewer to perform a
particular action or interpret a piece in any unequivocal sense.
Rather, it presents the viewer with an infinite number of meanings
and equally infinite possibilities for realisation. ATTACHED BY EBB
& FLOW is an installation Weiner created for Museo Nivola in
Orani, Sardina. The title refers to the tides and relates to
Sardinia-born artist Costantino Nivola's experience of exile and
relocation, as well the current migrant crisis in the Mediterranean
Sea. Sentences are translated from English to Italian to local
Sardu, using different words and verbal constructs and presented
simultaneously to open manifold possibilities to read and
interpret: something may be lost in translation, yet much more can
be found. Text in English and Italian.
