Vale Lawrence Weiner (1942 - 2021)


 MEMORY OF A SMILE 
 EXCHANGED 
 Sydney 1990 



OUT OF SIGHT is an interactive 'sculpture' by internationally recognized American conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner. The OUT OF SIGHT marelle (or hopscotch in French) is a curved structure that suggests a fluid and engaged journey of forward motion for participants.

Participants are encouraged to move along the OUT OF SIGHT pathway and activate the ideas within OUT OF SIGHT in their own expressive way. The core OUT OF SIGHT phrases are:
  - ASSUMING A POSITION
  - PRESUME A DESTINATION &
  - ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE POWERS THAT BE
  - & IMAGINED THINGS CAN BE ALTERED TO SUIT
  - SPIT INTO THE WIND HOPE FOR THE BEST
  - THE DESTINATION IS STRAIGHT ON
  - OUT OF SIGHT

Materials will be provided to encourage viewers to consider further these playful statements in the context of their own lives. 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 anyone who encounters it.

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