We were in Sydney last weekend and I managed to catch some of the Biennale and Sol Lewitt's retrospective at the Art Gallery of NSW. Sol Lewitt died in 2007, but a lot of this show includes recreated wall drawings that are made from specific detailed instructions Lewitt left for assistants and galleries to make these works. Lewitt explains this process in a 1967 essay where he wrote: 'In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work’ . The drawings are made with thousands of lines some creating planes of the most magnificent colour (as above). Sol Lewitt is showing at the the Gallery until August 3rd.
Wandering through Sydney after the gallery I was drawn to all things geometric in the city including the traditional giant chess game in Hyde Park. http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/media-office/sol-lewitt-exhibition/

I caught some of the Biennale at Easter, as well as Whiteley Studio and the Sol Levitt. I liked his work too and took an image of the same work. Maybe we get caught up about doing it all ourselves. Comments are closed.
