Acclaimed American artist and reluctant pioneer of conceptual art returns to the gallery with a solo exhibition, ALL IN DUE COURSE: a series of recent sculptures spanning interior and exterior spaces.

Though recognised as one of the central figures pioneering conceptual art in the 1960s, Lawrence Weiner identifies himself not as a conceptualist but as a sculptor whose medium is “language + the materials referred to”. Since the 1970s Weiner has been best known for his striking wall ‘sculptures’. Mainly using paint or vinyl, Weiner’s works carve walls with thought, presenting provocative texts that are open to interpretation by the viewer.

For this exhibition Weiner has made a group of inter-related works that will be seen across the main and first floor galleries, and continue outdoors, running along the expansive Victorian brick wall of the SLG’s Fox Garden. Visitors to the exhibition can venture further; beyond the gallery to an off-site work on the facade of the semi-derelict former Peckham Road Fire Station, located diagonally opposite the SLG. 

26 September - 23 November
