Just a reminder you still have a little over 24 hours to take advantage of the Judd Conference's early registration discount (by the end of Monday March 22nd). This isn't some dull lecture but an opportunity to take part in an important and inspiring historic discussion. Instead, it will be an intensive, hyperfocused and scholarly discussion of one of Judd's most important contributions to contemporary art his delegated fabrication (which is intimately tied into and expresses the philosophical underpinnings of Judd's art). Arcy discusses these issues a little more here on the Judd Conference blog.

Overall, it is a great time to come to Portland, with 2 Judd exhibitions up (in conjunction with the conference I'm curating one at the U of O's White Stag building and Elizabeth Leach Gallery is presenting a Judd print show) the ongoing Disquieted, Cy Twombly and Leon Golub shows at PAM, Scarecrow at Reed (featuring documentation video of many famous performance art pieces) and many other Judd related shows + PICA's TADA party ... the weekend of April 25th will be an excellent weekend to visit Portland's ever-active art scene.
