Mi Libro es su Libro

Lawrence Weiner was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1942 and was a central figure in the conceptual art of the late sixties. He wrote Statements, his first book, in 1968, a small compilation of texts describing projects and instructions for the reader and which is considered one of the first documents of the conceptual current. His work frequently consists of the use of texts as graphic elements that in turn resort to semantic and grammatical games; Language installations on walls have been his main medium. He has also ventured into video, film, sculpture, performance, sound art and graphic design.

Alias gives his audience a title that puts us in front of the foundations of Lawrence Weiner's thought. Mi Libro es su libro is a compilation of writings, pieces and interviews translated into Spanish by various artists.

The cover of this edition was designed by Weiner himself, who also selected the title of the book, which paraphrases a well-known piece of his from the eighties, entitled Mi casa es su casa.
