“My curatorial visions come from an artist’s vision and impulse – perhaps they are too big and at times seemingly impossible, but I think all things are possible, and the risk to establish ‘vision’, very worthwhile.” The Sol LeWitt Project: Ten Countries does this. The undergirding influences, the sense of ‘permission to do’, and the unexpected and hidden impacts of Sol LeWitt’s life and practice fuel the research in The Concentric Influences of Sol LeWitt: Foundations, Pivots and Place project across ten countries. It is exciting and exhilarating to know just how deeply Sol touched artists over decades and how his ideas continue to play a pivotal role in Art, Architecture and Education today.

The “concentric circle” of The Sol LeWitt Project brings together artists, curators, art historians, art critics, collectors, and cultural figures to form a core group dedicated to exploring the meanings of art and the profound influence Sol LeWitt has had on various domains, including art, architecture, and intellectual thought. Through friendship, dialogue, and collaboration, this collective not only examines LeWitt’s impact but also celebrates the beautiful ways in which art manifests in everyday life.
