| Abstract: | Chloë Brown curated the exhibition Sol LeWitt Artists Books, Site Gallery, Sheffield (2010), with Martin Rogers (director of The Research Group for Artists Publications - RGAP). This provided a rare opportunity to see a complete overview of LeWitt’s work in this form from 1967 to 2002 (more than 80 books). A LeWitt wall drawing executed in the space and arranged between the curators and the artist’s estate, complemented this. The daily activity of constructing this work on the gallery wall was an integral part of the project, allowing visitors to view the work in progress. In tandem with the visual works, a sequence of contemporary music performances took place in the gallery, brought together by the pianist Philip Thomas, a specialist in performing new and experimental music including both notated and improvised music. A fully illustrated catalogue was available. The exhibition at Site was the only UK leg of this international touring exhibition, providing a rare opportunity to see a complete overview of LeWitt’s work in this form.This exhibition was brought to Sheffield in collaboration with Giorgio Maffei and Emanuele De Donno at Viaindustriae, an artist-publishing organization from Sant’Eraclio di Foligno, Italy. |
