Incomplete, Complete.
In 1974, five years before Erno Rubik's maddening little puzzle hit the shelves, Sol LeWitt invented his own Variations on an Incomplete Open Cube. This ultimate work of serialism, for which professional mathematicians were consulted, proposed a sequence of 122 different ways to evoke without completing the six planes and twelve edges that define a cubic volume. Curated by Nicholas Baume, "Sol LeWitt: Incomplete Open Cubes" will resurrect the artist's vast project, not only with two-dimensional working sketches and drawings, but with the resulting 3-D structures, scattered like gossamer thoughts throughout the museum (Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, CT, Jan. 27-Apr. 29; Colby College Colby College, at Waterville Waterville, city (1990 pop. 17,173), Kennebec co., S Maine, at the falls of the Kennebec River; settled 1754, inc. as a city 1888.
