Revue Faire — no. 49 a/b (Lawrence Weiner)

n°46 — Lawrence Weiner: We Are Ships at Sea, Not Ducks On a Pond By Joris Kritis, with interviews with Nora Turato and Linda van Deursen Lawrence Weiner’s use of graphic design has always been of fascination for graphic designers. "What makes Weiner’s work seductive to graphic designers is his resolutely non-apologetic method of displaying words without need for any explanation."* But in this text a comparative analysis is made of different voices about Weiner’s use of graphics & typography. Next to a speculative history of Weiner’s formal language, two interviews—with graphic designer Linda Van Deursen and artist Nora Turato—pay attention to Weiner’s enduring legacy. Faire is a bi-monthly publication dedicated to graphic design. Produced by Empire, the publishing arm of French design studio Syndicat (designers Sacha Léopold and François Havegeer), Faire is aimed at students as well as researchers and professional designers. Each issue addresses a specific object or theme and is written by a renowned author. *Russel Holmes, “The Work Must Be Read,” Eye Magazine , Autumn 1998 Designed by Syndicat Published by Editions Empire, 2025 Bilingual, in French and English Softcover, 62 pages [44 pages A4 + 16 pages A5, 2 volumes], CMYK and 1 PMS on cover, 8.25 × 11.75 inches ISBN: 979-1-09-599148-8
