In this episode of the Exploring Art Podcast, FIU students discuss the
work and philosophy of conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, focusing on his wall drawings and the idea
that the concept behind the artwork is more important than its physical execution. Through
examples like the Carnegie Institute wall drawing, the group debates authorship, originality, and
whether a recreated piece still counts as the “original.” Using analogies like blueprints, recipes,
and grandma’s cookies, the students explore how LeWitt’s ideas challenge traditional definitions
of art.
