Organized in response to Sol LeWitt's 1971 Wall Drawing #118, which was conceived and installed at SMFA that year, "Something Along Those Lines," is a dynamic group exhibition featuring nine modern and contemporary artists who blend conceptual, sculptural and performative engagements with the formal elements of drawing: Adel Abdessemed, Ann Carlson + Mary Ellen Strom, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Gego, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, LeWitt, Bruce Nauman, Fred Sandback and Lawrence Weiner.
Alfond Auditorium, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Veronica Roberts, Director of Research, Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing Catalogue Raisonné and Adjunct Curator of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, will deliver the lecture "Boston's First Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing" on September 19, focusing on Wall Drawing # 118, which was first installed at SMFA in 1971. Delving into the challenges and rewards of researching this artist's unique body of conceptual art, she will also highlight the special importance LeWitt attached to his collaborations with art students at SMFA and schools across the country and abroad.
Established in 1978 by Leo and Betty Beckwith (daughter Carol is an alumna), the Beckwith series was created to further SMFA student development by featuring artists and cultural thinkers of national and international stature.
