4/25 Donald Judd: Delegated Fabrication

The University of Oregon presents "Donald Judd: Delegated Fabrication," History, practices, issues and implications, a conference and exhibition in Portland, Oregon.

From the outside a Donald Judd piece is seamless, hiding all traces of it’s construction. But behind the final piece is a rich history of the artist’s intent and his method for fabrication. Join us for a groundbreaking discussion of Judd’s art, lead by contemporary art scholars and Judd’s longtime fabricator, Peter Ballantine. The day-long conference in Portland, Ore., will look at Judd as an icon of the American minimalist movement, as well as issues of authenticity and fabrication that continue to have lasting implications for artists today.

A related exhibition will be presented in the University of Oregon in Portland’s White Box visual laboratory.
