Editions Empire, 2025. Softcover, [62]pp., 8.2 x 11.8 inches. New The 49th issue of the critical graphic design journal is about Lawrence Weiner and his relationship with typography, titled “We Are Ships at Sea, Not Ducks On a Pond” and written by Joris Kritis. Its glossy, full-colour pages honour Weiner’s use of graphic design, which has always in turn fascinated graphic designers. What makes Weiner’s work seductive is his resolutely non-apologetic method of displaying words without need for any explanation. A comparative analysis is made of different voices about Weiner’s use of graphics and typography. Next to a speculative history of Weiner’s formal language, two interviews with graphic designer Linda Van Deursen and artist Nora Turato discuss Weiner’s enduring legacy.
