Sol
LeWitt_Symposium 19/20
February, 2011
1970, Schematic Drawings for Muybridge II, 1964, New York: Multiples Inc. An occasion in which all the artist books of Sol LeWitt are gathered into one exhibition invites further study. As we have done in previous exhibitions Art Laboratory Berlin would like to bring together artistic practice and scholarly debate, in this case in the form of a symposium. The complex nature of Sol LeWitt's artists' books specifically calls for examination by a variety of disciplines. Beginning
with a survey of the concept and the conceptual in LeWitt's work,
continuing with a reflection on the medium of the book and the problem
of authorship, the initial contributions will sketch LeWitt's art
from art historical and literary perspectives. Additionally, contributions
from the philosophy of art, musicology and mathematics will reflect
on space and time, the question of a possible terminology and the
phenomenon of serial geometric forms. Similarly, LeWitt's aesthetic
production and his relationship to graphic design will be discussed.
Finally, contributions from an artistic perspective as well as those
of friends and collectors will illuminate practical and theoretical
aspects of LeWitt's artistic work. The
exhibition at Art Laboratory Berlin (Prinzenallee 34) will be open
on 19 and 20 February from 12-8PM.
