Cabinet magazine asks WWSLD? in a recent call for entries targeted 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?’” Aside from economic theory, the project draws on the history of Lewitt’s material exchanges with artists, wherein he traded work with artists both known to him and not; the Sol Lewitt Private Collection (which desperately needs a website, IMHO) retains the rights to all works received, as well as a record of what Lewitt sent in return. Suggested gifts include books, ephemera, and other non-perishable items. (Project guidelines and other brass tacks may be found here.) An Exchange With Sol Lewitt is a two-part exhibition co-presented by MASS MoCA and Cabinet, and organized by curator Regine Basha. The project will remain on view at Cabinet’s Gowanus space from 20 January–19 February, 201, and at MASS MoCA from 22 January–31 March, 2011.
