OUT OF STOCK Micah Lexier: A Number of Things Developed out of an interest in the strategies of early conceptualism, Micah Lexier’s practice engages documentary and ephemeral approaches to consider systems of measurement and how they relate to the representation of identity. From books, to installations, to archives, to sculpture, Lexier’s ongoing interest in systemization has resulted in his new project, entitled A Number of Things, for Artspeak. The project takes the form of a coloring book, presenting some of the artist’s favorite conceptual artworks, as well as related objects having to do with counting and measurement.
