A l'occasion de la Documenta 5, Jef Cornelis va à la rencontre des artistes qui ont fait de cette exposition un succès mythique du 20e siècle. Laurence Weiner, à qui l'on demande s'il fait de l'art conceptuel, répond qu'il fait de l'art "contemporain" :- Do you think the term conceptual art is convenient for your kind of art ?LW - No, not at all. It seems to be a term of convenience, but it’s not at all a convenient term. I don’t quite know how you would define conceptual art. The majority of people who claim they’re making conceptual art, just give you piles and piles of papers, lots of photographs. It doesn’t make any sense. I would call it contemporary art. I mean, it seems to be relevant at this particular time. I don’t know if it will be in five years. I hope not.- Can you give a definition of your own work in your own terms now?L.W.- It's just contemporary art. As a man involved in making art, it seems to be for me the only viable way of making art.(réal. Jef Cornelis, Paris Art view, 2012)
