“This was a sex club called The Zone. So a lot of good vibes in here,” says Lisson Gallery CEO Alex Logsdail, as he gives a tour of Lisson’s newly opened space in Los Angeles’ ever-growing Sycamore District, the globe-spanning art business’ first outpost on the West Coast.
Lisson found the location after The Zone, which catered to gay and bisexual men in L.A., closed in 2020. Its transformation into a high-gloss art gallery fits into the larger conversion of the neighborhood where it’s located, which Wwd has called “L.A.’s newest luxury retail destination” and the L.A. Times has called “L.A.’s coolest new neighborhood.” The area’s one-time warehouses and industrial shops have in the last few years been renovated to become buzzy retail shops, restaurants and art galleries, including Jeffrey Deitch, Gaga & Reena Spaulings and Carpenters Workshop.
“It’s a great area,” says Logsdail,...

In our recent studio visit with the artist, we learned he had just returned from finishing two public projects. Click through the slideshow below to view images.The first involved the launching of 50 identical fishing bins embedded with Weiner’s title for the project, Along The Shore, in both English and Icelandic. Ten additional bins launched through the gallery i8 in Reykjavík, a gallery Weiner has worked with for many years. Weiner stated, “We did something with 50 or 60 fish bins, which go all over the world. And they really do go all over the world.

When my taxi reached the street block in the West Village, I spotted the silvery, Mondrian-proportioned building among the brownstones that no doubt belonged to Lawrence Weiner. He recounted, “It was a little house, and for 20 years it was just fine, but then the lords of the earth started to build up, and then — no more air, no more light. This is a landmark area, which meant an awful lot of negotiating when we collapsed the house. We [Weiner and his wife, wife Alice] brought in Lot-ek. They have a good sense of space, and Alice has got a good sense of engineering.”Weiner was working on several upcoming projects and was about to head to the Montreal Biennale, Bnlmtl 2014, where his early work involving the Canadian arctic is on exhibition. Weiner is regarded as a Conceptualist who uses language as his primary medium — as a sculptor...
