Lawrence Weiner Erasure.

Review by Rob Myers.

How can you erase a work of Conceptual Art, and what does it mean to 
try? Armed only with a biro and a sketchpad, Michael Szpakowski takes us 
on a critical journey into one of Western art's most radical movements 
with a mash-up of the ideas of Lawrence Weiner and Robert Rauschenberg.

Michael Szpakowski's "Lawrence Weiner Erasure", 2012, presents itself as 
an erasure of Lawrence Weiner's "A RUBBER BALL THROWN ON THE SEA", 1969. 
It takes the form of a handwritten text on a drawing pad accompanied by 
the ballpoint pen used to write it and an edition of framed photographs 
of them.
