Sculpture Forum 8: Donald Judd at Museum of Modern Art, New York

Sculpture Forum 8: "Judd" Donald Judd at Museum of Modern Art New York opens April 23 2020 online. Participants: Garth Evans, Brandt Junceau, Jock Ireland, Karen Wilkin (video by Maud Bryt from internet recorded video/audio and photos from MoMA, Chinati Foundation and Judd Foundation). During this stay-home time, we were unable to go to the Judd exhibit as a group and then gather as a group to discuss, but we were able to gather via the internet and discuss our various experiences of the Judd exhibit and also Marfa and his work in general. We hope to get to the exhibit and have a discussion as a group when it is again possible.

Sculpture Forum; confronting sculpture.
I have launched this project because I feel that there is a need for it, a hunger even.
It is a simple concept; small groups, led by a sculptor, confronting sculptures and articulating the thoughts, feelings, ideas and associations that the works provoke. These conversations will take place in museums, galleries, studios and in front of public works. The ensuing discussion is video taped and made public in such a way that others can respond, extending the exchange. Most of the arts have well-established mechanisms through which the meaning and significance of a particular work is forged yet, too often, sculpture is dealt with as an adjunct to painting. This project aims to give sculptors themselves a place to disclose how they look at sculptures, and along with educators, critics and others, to share how they engage with them and what they consider valuable about them.
