Irene Barberis @ Sol LeWitt Chester Studio, USA, 2019. The series of works here are a direct response to the thirteen music tapes that the late Sol LeWitt left in his studio and were played again by me as I responded to his space in tandem with our long friendship. The Series titled: #Compositions, #Composer and #Intervals explore in this context the relationship of colour, music, location, movement and mapping through both the lens of a visual artist and the somatic responses of a classically trained dancer. The exhibition Choreographing Colour 2021, becomes part of a lineage of exhibitions and works investigating ‘Reading the Space’, which commenced through The Global Centre for Drawing and its international projects in 2001.
