Twenty years after its creation we celebrate the unique story of the Capella del Barolo, a countryside chapel painted by Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett. Commissioned in 1999 by the Ceretto family, the chapel overlooks the vineyards of the Barolo region in Piedmont, and has become an icon of the region, visited by over 60,000 people a year.

Producing a vinyl record, publication and associated performance programme, Keeping Time is inspired by two of the Capella del Barolo’s key themes: the notion of art as a collaborative endeavour and LeWitt and Tremlett’s shared interest in music.

The double vinyl record celebrates each year of the chapel, compiling 20 tracks by 20 artists. It will include contributions by 10 world-renowned artists who have a longstanding relationship with the work of LeWitt and Tremlett as well as 10 tracks by a younger group of artists who have been engaging with the history of the chapel through collaborations with curators Tony Tremlett and Guy Robertson.
