Benalla artist Simon Klose joins prestigious exhibition showcasing conceptual art

It positions Australia at the centre of an ambitious global dialogue on conceptual art, influence and the circulation of ideas.

In the 1960s, American artist Sol LeWitt revolutionised the definition of contemporary art by presenting the simple but radical idea that a work of art’s concept is more important than its form.

This exhibition feature artists who worked with Mr LeWitt as well as a group of contemporary Australian artists, which includes Mr Klose.

His career in art has included several art gallery directorships, including a stint as director at Benalla Gallery.

Since his retirement, he has been dedicated to developing his art in his studio in Lowry Pl ,the old 'Hotondo' building.
