Judd Conference still making waves

The Judd Conference in Portland from last April is still making waves and The Art Newspaper has a brief article about the importance of Portland's kick off and the next two installments.

By putting on the conference and exhibition I felt we foregrounded the issue of integrity in a way which has been in atrophy around Judd's work for quite some time. In fact, the issue of integrity of display of any artist's work has become muted in the last 30 years with the increased focus on blockbusters. Perhaps no artist before or since was as specific as Judd was about what does and does not constitute proper presentation... and I hope this helps bring the word back into the contemporary art vernacular. (you can pick up catalogs for the exhibition at The White Box Gallery and Monograph Bookwerks).
