Sol LeWitt's Studio

Join us for an insightful lecture exploring the studio of Sol LeWitt, a pioneering figure in Conceptual and Minimalist Art. Learn about his innovative studio practices, his meticulous approach to making and his influential role in shaping contemporary art.

This lecture will also explore the profound impact of LeWitt’s methods and ideas on a global scale, highlighting his enduring legacy and the vibrant community of artists who continue to draw inspiration from his work.

This event is a Public Program of RMIT Gallery's exhibition The Concentric Influences of Sol LeWitt.

The Concentric Influences of Sol LeWitt

Part 1: Irene Barberis, Fransje Killaars, Janet Passehl, Wilma Tabacco

Sol LeWitt’s legacy as a key artistic figure of Conceptual and Minimalist Art is intimately expressed in the work of Janet Passehl (USA), Fransje Killaars (Netherlands), Irene Barberis (Australia), and Wilma Tabacco (Australia). Each of the four artists from across the globe share a unique connection with LeWitt, who has impacted their practice in concentric, obvious, and sometimes understated ways. The first of two RMIT Gallery exhibitions centred around Sol LeWitt’s practice, The Concentric Influences of Sol LeWitt moves beyond the objective visual qualities connecting artworks to celebrate the circular bonds of friendship and community that characterise the depth of LeWitt’s creative influence.
