I saw the <a href=\"https:\/\/massmoca.org\/sol-lewitt\/\">exhibition at MassMOCA<\/a>.

After a reading group this summer, he commented that this was a shame. So I sent off a short item which has now appeared in Contemporary Aesthetics: <a href=\"https:\/\/contempaesthetics.org\/newvolume\/pages\/article.php?articleID=844\">That Some of Sol Lewitt&#8217;s Later Wall Drawings Aren&#8217;t Wall Drawings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/contempaesthetics.org\/newvolume\/pages\/article.php?articleID=844\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/contempaesthetics.org\/newvolume\/pages\/article.php?articleID=844\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The referee commented that this note could have appeared in a longer paper about conceptualism and the nature of art. It could have, perhaps, except that waiting on that longer paper to write itself would probably mean never publishing this bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"910\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?resize=840%2C910&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?w=1936&amp;ssl=1 1936w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?resize=277%2C300&amp;ssl=1 277w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?resize=768%2C832&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?resize=945%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 945w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?resize=1200%2C1300&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fecundity.com\/nfw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/lewitt-x-conway.jpg?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>LeWitt (1968) x Conway (1970); realized 2015; Loughlin Street; Albany, New York <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several years ago, my colleague Jason D&#8217;Cruz and I set on the idea of writing something about Goodman&#8217;s autographic\/allographic distinction.
