With Something To Put Something On, the godfather of text-based conceptual art Lawrence Weiner explores the philosophical ramifications of presenting a thing on another thing, a problem that any young artmaker must encounter when showing his or her work. Beautifully designed as an artist’s book directed toward young readers, it is the first title to be published under the Little Steidl imprint. “Though the ideas Weiner contemplates lead back to youthful days, there is no familiar once upon a time to be found on these pages. Neither story book, nor autobiography, nor reference book, Something to Put Something On is a questioning book, both forthright and intriguing. Weiner wields his red, orange, and blue letterforms to take up the question of a human being’s relationship to objects and teases the reader into looking at a table in an entirely new light.” –from the publisher
