An Exchange with Sol LeWitt

A two-part exhibition curated by Regine Basha The story of Sol LeWitt's exchanges with other artists is by now widely known. Though most artists engage in this process at one point or another, LeWitt seemed fully committed to it as an artistic code of conduct, a way of life. Eva Hesse, Robert Mangold, Hanna Darboven, and Robert Ryman are just a few of LeWitt's celebrated contemporaries with whom the artist exchanged works. Such exchanges were not limited to well-known artists, however: LeWitt consistently traded works with admirers whom he did not know but who had nevertheless sent their work to him, as well as amateur artists with whom he interacted in his daily life. LeWitt's exchanges—he responded to every work he received by sending back one of his own—fostered an ongoing form of artistic communion and, in some cases, a source of support and patronage. The Sol LeWitt Private Collection retains all of the works he received, as well as a record of what he offered in return.

For LeWitt, the act of exchange seemed to be not only a personal gesture, but also an integral part of his conceptual practice. In addition to encouraging the circulation of artworks through a gift economy that challenged the art world's dominant economic model, LeWitt's exchanges with strangers have the same qualities of generosity, and risk, that characterized his work in general. This kind of exchange was designed to stage an encounter between two minds, outside the familiar confines of friendship.

If we consider the process of exchange as another of Sol LeWitt's instructional pieces, then the rational (or irrational) thing to do is to continue to exchange work and ideas, if only symbolically, with him.

—This is a call to those who share an affinity with Sol LeWitt's legacy as a conceptual artist, to those who knew him and those who did not—to anyone who has ever wondered, "What would Sol LeWitt like?"

ArtScape MidWay III

Greetings

I have an installation in this year's Artscape, July 16th-18th, the Charles Street Bridge, Baltimore.

Here are some images:









The project will include small editioned artists zines/books, a Tea Dance, my dream studio, my new artist zine, some of my good friend's books, and probably the hottest weekend in July. With a photo copier on site, passerbyes or participants will create a small artist zine which will be editioned and get a taste of self-publishing and basically doing it yourself.

Ron Longsdorf @ HUB-BUB

For the next 11 months NWAA member Ron Longsdorf will be spending his time in Spartanburg, South Carolina at Hub-Bub's Artist in Residence Program. He'll be living and working in one of the four artist apartments on site. Three additional creative types will be there: Corinne Manning, Ian Shelly, and Kerri Ammirata. All four will embark on this new adventure by having time to make work, get involved with Hub-Bub programming, as well as an involvement in the local Spartanburg community.

Here are some photos of the new digs:

NWAA Members: Get to Know Nato Thompson

I listened to a great interview today on Bad at Sports that I thought I'd share with the NWAA community. Young artists with a considerable amount of student loan debt should listen to this... I'm now a big fan of Nato Thompson, our developing community needs to get familiar with his project! - Michael Kalmbach, the Dr. Dre of NWAA.

Here's another interview I found while I was watching Part 2 of the New York City Housewives' reunion show with Rebecca tonight:

Interview with Nato Thompson

By Lauren Cornell on Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 2:57 pm.

NT: I have always held the political angle of the avant-garde as a necessary and important history. The political drive behind those ambitious enough to make their dreams a reality does not come out of an interest in art per se, but the interest in producing meaning on a large level. A basic Marxist idea (that I think is quite apparent) is that the way we think is produced in the way we live. So, those interested in producing a more robust form of living must take seriously the economic and social forms that produce our world. These are hardly separate projects.

But I must qualify, that this trajectory isn't in terms of pure ambition but, ultimately, in interrogating the social forms that produce our world. It might sound naïve, but I still am hopeful that we can find a way to produce a system of organization which guarantees equal rights for every one on the planet. At times, artists are interested (not always in the most straightforward methods) in producing this type of world. In others, their actions point toward liberatory gestures and forms of meaning that are resistant in their buoyancy.

Institutional critique was a necessary maneuver to show that the art world, like all other forms of discourse, is run via power. The next step is to contextualize this framework among the various other discourses and try to lay out a specifically strategic campaign for meaning production. It seems naïve to point out that power solely lives in institutions. It is everywhere!

RIGHT ON!
