Book excerpt: Tiré du site Artgallery : "The "Incomplete open cubes" are a sequence of open-sided cube structures, each missing between one and nine of their sides. At once repetitive and varied, this series lays out 122 possible variations on the concept. The 'Incomplete open cubes' exemplify LeWitt's conceptual practice and have been widely interpreted as embodying systematic rationality; they are based on an arithmetic concept which they then take to its logical extreme. While they are internally consistent, they also manifest an irrational, obsessive quality reflected in LeWitt's own comment that "irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically". Here he presents a binary between the rational and the irrational."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Incomplete open cubes" is one of the major projects of the artist Sol Lewitt. It consists of a collection of frame structures and a presentation of their diagrams. Each structure in the project is a cube with some edges removed so that the structure remains three-dimensional and connected Structures are considered to be identical if one can be transformed into another by a space rotation (but not reflection). The list of incomplete cubes consists of 122 structures. In this project, the concept of incomplete cubes was formulated in the language of graph theory. This allowed us to compare the problem posed by the artist with the similar questions of graph theory considered during the last decades. Classification of Incomplete cubes was then refined using the language of combinatorics. The list produced by the artist was then checked to be complete. And lastly, properties of Incomplete cubes in the list were studied.

Book excerpt: "Books are the best medium for many artists working today," Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) once declared. A pioneer of artist's books, and co-founder of New York's Printed Matter bookstore in 1976, LeWitt is closely identified with the book as an art form. Starting with 1967's Serial Project No. 1 (from Aspen magazine), and closing with Chicago (Morning Star Publications, 2002), this book reproduces covers and spreads from Sol LeWitt's massive oeuvre of artist's books, almost all of which are now rarities. As artist's book historian Clive Phillpot notes, "the principle attribute of LeWitt's books is one common to all books: a dependence upon sequence, whether of families of marks or objects, or of single or permuted series which have clear beginnings and endings." Critical observations from LeWitt himself and a variety of scholars make this volume the most sustained treatment of LeWitt's prolific activity in this area to date.

Book excerpt: 131 Variations is a reinterpretation of Sol Lewitt's "122 Variations of Incomplete Open Cubes". Fleur van Dodewaard set about recreating and photographing the piece seeking to produce an exact copy. But in the process things went wrong: some cubes went missing, others appeared double and previously unknown variants arose. With her "131 Variations" Van Dodewaard demonstrates that the 122 variations listed and presented by Lewitt did not represent an exhaustive spectrum of all conceivable possibilities. Accordingly, the "failure" consciously introduces moments of arbitrariness, inconsistency and irrationality into this aleatory process to allow for an element of coincidence, thereby challenging mathematical logic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tiré de http://tuttoggi.info/articolo/15847/:"Inaugura sabato 27 giugno nella chiesa di San Carlo a Spoleto, la mostra-installazione "4096 / the 217 possibilities of incomplete open cubes" di Maël Veisse e Sébastien Renauld, un progetto artistico realizzato da due giovani architetti francesi di Nancy, che incontra la ricerca di Sol LeWitt, il grande artista concettuale vissuto più di 30 anni a Spoleto. Questo tributo si pone in continuità con la mostra "Artist's books by Sol LeWitt" svoltasi dal 7 Aprile al 13 Maggio 2009 alla Galleria civica d'Arte Moderna a Spoleto in occasione della ricorrenza dei due anni dalla sua scomparsa e che verrà nuovamente allestita a Bologna in settembre al Museo Internazionale della Musica in occasione di ArteLibro e poi replicata a Parigi, New York e Istanbul. 4096 viene presentata in anteprima assoluta nella chiesa di San Carlo, come evento collaterale del Festival dei Due Mondi di Spoleto. Il progetto di "ViaIndustriae" e "Studio A'87", curato da Giorgio Maffei, Emanuele De Donno e Franco Troiani, pone l'accento sulla forza dell'opera "aperta" di Sol LeWitt e del suo lascito concettuale ereditato e rinnovato da tanti artisti contemporanei. Maël Veisse e Sébastien Renauld esplorano i sistemi di forme, aprono le loro possibilità, moltitudini inscritte nel cuore dei dispositivi finiti. La combinatoria si rivela attraverso installazioni o abitazioni, in questo caso deborda nello spazio segnato dal passo e dal reticolo di forme-cubo. I due giovani artisti-architetti, indagano con metodo sistematico tutte le ulteriori possibilità tralasciate dal maestro americano negli Open Cubes (Cubi Aperti), trovandone 4096, determinate da 217 matrici. Tutto lo studio viene condensato in 13 libri d'artista in copia unica che citano in maniera matematica il libro d'artista del 1974 di Sol LeWitt Incomplete open cubes. Da questo poderoso lavoro a metà tra il rigore analitico e una ritmica metafisica, nasce il progetto di realizzare un' installazione-libro-ambiente catalogata in 13 tomi, ed esplosa nella Chiesa di San Carlo in 217 forme in cemento e 7 pannelli A0. L'allestimento dialoga con due libri d'artista "miliari" di Sol LeWitt indice non di supina deferenza, ma del codice genetico dell'opera."
