Lawrence Weiner was one of the central figures of Conceptual Art. He first gained international recognition in the late 1960s. The main medium of his work was words that were formed using specific typefaces and that were installed site-specifically upon the walls of various architectures. Past over a five decades his practice, he challenged traditional assumptions about what might constitute an art object, questioning the conventions of objecthood in relation to the creator and its viewer. In The Sky Moves, a collaged sequence of words paints a picture in the mind. The words play out to form sentences which describe the realm of concentricity and the collision of simultaneous realities. Yet ultimately, it is the viewer who bears the responsibility for deciphering specific meaning through their own visual and mental engagement with the work. The work was made exclusively to Sedition members.
