Artists in conversation

Lawrence Weiner
American · b. 1942

Weiner's text based conceptual practice similarly interrogates systems of language and institutional power by presenting declarative statements as the artwork itself, treating language as both material and subject in ways that parallel Arceneaux's engagement with legal discourse.

Hans Haacke
German · b. 1936

Haacke's institutional critique practice directly exposes the regulatory and economic frameworks governing cultural and corporate power, sharing Arceneaux's focus on legal systems and structures of authority as primary subject matter.

Hito Steyerl
German · b. 1966

Steyerl's conceptual work critically examines institutional frameworks, legal structures, and systems of governance, engaging with the language of bureaucracy and regulation in ways that closely align with Arceneaux's exploration of commercial law and institutional power.
