After his major survey "As Far as the Eye Can See" at the Whitney Museum and his last movie Water in milk exists, produced in cooperation with the New York Swiss Institute, conceptual veteran Lawrence Weiner (Bronx, 1942) is preparing a multi-layered show in Barcelona, at Fundació Suñol - Nivell Zero.
The project, entitled The Crest of a Wave and organized by curatorial duo Latitudes (Max Andrews & Mariana Cánepa Luna), is divided into four parts: a distributed ephemeral sculpture, a wall installation, a musical piece and an action. 
For the fist chapter, on September 24 - Barcelona's city patron saint day, Mercé - he distributed designed sugar packets to 50 cafés, restaurants and bars spread out all over the city. 
In Barcelona he also created one of his landmark statements entitled A CLOTH OF COTTON WRAPPED AROUND A HORSESHOE OF IRON TOSSED UPON THE CREST OF A WAVE. 
At Fundació Suñol he will readapt this typographic rendering for a site-specific installation conceived for the exterior wall of the foundation's courtyard, while in the interior space will be installed the third part, a music track composed by Ned Sublette and The Persuasions that features the same phrase. 
This main event, which is due to open on October 9, will end up with an action on the sea scheduled during the exhibition's opening week, consisting of an iron horseshoe wrapped in cotton cloth and tossed upon a wave's crest.
