Opening April 15, “Drawing Dialogues: Selections from the Sol LeWitt Collection” is an exhibition featuring over 100 works by more than 60 artists from the renowned artist’s extraordinary collection. It is the first large-scale exhibition of the collection to be held in New York in over 30 years. Evening Opening April 14, 6-8pm 
Artist Highlight: Lucinda Childs 
Born in 1940 in New York, Lucinda Childs is a dancer and choreographer known for creating intricate performances through minimalistic compositions. In 1979 Childs collaborated with Philip Glass and Sol LeWitt in a performative work entitled “Dance” that was commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Comprised of  film, music and dance, “Dance” was created by three artists sharing similar methods in their own practices. It  was a minimalist or, according to Philip Glass, an essentialist work. Even though Childs had used geometric configurations in her earlier work, the addition of Sol LeWitt’s grid projected as film and used as the set, had an impact on her choreography. His grid brought to surface the dance’s underlying mathematical structures and her dancers underscored the human element of LeWitt’s work. “Dance” has been restaged a few times after its initial performance in 1979.
