‘The Concentric Influences of Sol LeWitt: Foundations, Pivots and Place’ positions Australia at the centre of an ambitious global dialogue on conceptual art, influence and the circulation of ideas. Instigated and directed by Dr Irene Barberis, the project demonstrates how Australian scholarship and curatorial innovation can actively shape international discourse surrounding one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.

This exhibition includes ‘Dance: Vertical View’, a collaborative response to the original work ‘Dance, 1979’ by Sol LeWitt, Phillip Glass and Lucinda Childs. 

Choreography, Production & Video Co-direction: Anne Scott Wilson
