Knowing what we know now of Sol LeWitt’s career affects our reading of an exhibition in this instance. Sol LeWitt: Works from the 1960s, an exhibition meant to share a miscellany of his early works, is given a narrative of studio practice in the act of clarifying itself.
Well respected for these simulacra, Julia Fish surprises us now especially in doubling: for her show Transcriptions, Apparitions, home and gallery sites are taken together.
Limited only through whatever is impossible or contradictory, contingency thrives opportunistically. Whatever is possible has been claimed by the term, and that includes a very broad swathe of happening.
As a matter of fact, however, not everything that possibly can happen does happen. In its empirical extent, some conditions do issue in occurrences more likely to happen than not, some unforeseen perhaps, yet inherent in possibility.

Now as then, Donald Judd’s writing on art makes us mindful of the studio writ large. Verbalized or not, our art resides in the many decisions informing the manufacture of artifacts of some kind, for which tectonics and facture must speak to some clear purpose.
