Artists at Jilamara Arts and across the Tiwi islands have had an established practice of painting locally sourced natural ochres on 640gsm cold press Archers paper for many years.

To celebrate the amazing collaborative install of such works currently on display at the Art Gallery of South Australia for Tarnanthi, we have chosen to make available a historical selection of these amazing works on the Tarnanthi Online Art Fair — available this weekend only!

……..

From Sol LeWitt: The Music Collection, an exhibition (2013-14) at The Aldrich @thealdrich -

Unlike the majority of the exhibitions concerning the artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), this one does not include his work, but rather the work of others who have either influenced the artist or for whom the artist has felt an affinity. Going one step further, the works presented are not those of visual artists, but rather composers, known for their contributions to the field of music and, in particular, Western music since the Baroque period.

The Music Collection is just what the title of the exhibition implies, a view into LeWitt’s amassing of both scores by contemporary composers and an encyclopedic library of recorded music. The collection of recordings, personally transferred by the artist from vinyl and radio onto the medium of cassette tape, represents thirty years of effort (the most recent tape dates from 2002). The cassettes which lined the walls of a small room in the artist’s Chester, Connecticut, home, have been installed at The Aldrich to mimic their original organization on wooden shelves. The consecutive numbers on the spines of the cassettes and their notation in an accompanying logbook catalogue 3,970 individual tapes.
