I Got Up

In the I Got Up series, On Kawara sent two horizontal, tourist-style postcards daily to friends and colleagues, documenting the time he woke up. He played with the format, sometimes sending multiple cards to the same recipient or offering city “tours.”

OUT OF SIGHT by Lawrence Weiner is an interactive, site-specific text-based work installed on the floor, engaging audiences physically and intellectually. It transforms museums and public spaces into pathways for reflection, connection, and self-discovery.

OUT OF SIGHT is an interactive, generic ‘sculpture’ by internationally recognized American conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner.

Adaptable to the ground—indoor or outdoor—this two- dimensional, site-specific work offers participating museums, civic and public venues an opportunity to temporarily (or permanently) install a work of art that forges an engaging connection with audiences from all walks of life including adults, teenagers and children.

With the OUT OF SIGHT project, Weiner’s signature text-based work has shifted off the wall and onto the floor, creating a pathway to be viewed and navigated, both physically and intellectually.

OUT OF SIGHT is not only a work of art but also acts as a metaphorical framework for the journey of self-discovery and empowerment, enlivening the experience of each person who encounters it.

OUT OF SIGHT is an artwork that celebrates the potential within all of us to connect with ourselves and with each other in a process of shared exploration.

OUT OF SIGHT is about visualizing what can be.
