"As I knew many of the artists who were here for the Biennale, I invited a small group to dinner. Lawrence arrived a little later than the others and explained that he was held up by a Sydney socialite who had called to invite him to her soirée that night. When he explained he had another engagement she said 'Oh, but you must come,' to which Lawrence replied rather cheekily, 'Oh, but I mustn’t,' and hung up."

Tonight, on our website, we share Brad Buckley's personal recollection of Lawrence Weiner, celebrating the life of a generous, prolific, and profoundly influential artist. New York-born, Weiner's presence in Australia through the latter decades of the twentieth century is Buckley's focus. Head to the 🔗 link in bio now to read his account of his friend, colleague, and dearly missed correspondent.

"This quest for meaning amongst the cosmic – 'a symbol of the unknown and the powerful' in the artist’s words – is one to which Sammut feels she can devote her whole practice, and indeed, as she tells me, her life. 'I’m interested in using the cosmic as a way of pulling us out of the myopic tendency we have as humans,' she says: 'to move myself and the viewer to a different space.'"

In our current issue, Lisa Sammut speaks with Erin McFadyen about gesture, the emotion of objects, and movement as a medium. Celebrating the opening of her show FULL CIRCLE at Mosman Art Gallery, we share this special article to our website this evening.
