Venue: Room 107, MacMahon Ball Theatre, Old Arts
Presenters: Ms Janet Passehl
Sol LeWitt (1928- 2007) was a leading figure of Minimalism and pioneer of Conceptual art. LeWitt’s work was characterized by serialization, repetition, and progression, exemplified by his iconic open-grid structures. Studying systems of line and color, his prolific output of wall drawings represents a breakthrough in his career and solidified his engagement with two-dimensional practices spanning painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking.
Janet Passehl, Curator of the LeWitt Collection, will take a behind-the-scenes look at Sol LeWitt’s life and practice. She will provide unique access into LeWitt’s studio practice and his methods for developing structures and wall drawings through working drawings, with a focus on works in Australian collections. Glimpses of his home, studio, the art collection warehouse, the diaries he carried everywhere from 1969 through 1993, and rarely seen early work, will be included. Passehl will also address LeWitt’s passion for collecting and showcasing work by more than seven hundred artists whom he encountered in his daily life and his travels abroad.
Janet Passehl is an artist and the Curator of the LeWitt Collection. Passehl worked in close proximity with LeWitt in Chester, Connecticut, USA, during the last seventeen years of his life, and she continues to work for the LeWitt family.
