Dan Graham points his finger at conceptual art as it practiced today and taught in schools. Makes a lot of sense when it is overused and over-appropriated meaninglessly and endlessly. I don't think he would say that forty years ago. Though, he spares Lawrence Weiner.

Mention of Carl Andre, Lawrence Weiner has plugged into the "High" Art market back in the early 70's, with a quasi-bullshit line of "art speak". He does however have a nice environment, which is showing us what a player in the art market can achieve.
Weiner is still meaningless, with his "fuck up people's lives", I am certain he would not like his life fucked up.
Kill somebody, another mention about Carl Andre?
quondam, I am curious to find out why you find that sentence in its context not say anything?
Isn't that what Lawrence Weiner kind of says in his interview above? And, that's not the first time I have heard it.
I usually try to remind myself not to forget to check in with you about the content of the news but it never works.
I was enjoying him quite well until he drew an arbitrary line between art and graphic design. Graphic design is visceral and art is sensual according to him. What's the difference? And why worry about distinguishing the two? Like those who go on about one structure being a building while the other is Architecture. Reminds me of a nice Susan Sontag quote,
"The perennial tendency to make of beauty itself a binary concept, to split it up into an ‘inner’ and ‘outer’, ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ beauty, is usually the way that judgments of the beautiful are colonized by moral judgments.”
