Donald Judd at The Chinati Foundation. Some notes on his notion of exhibition space
Keywords:
architecture, art, Donald Judd, exhibition space, The Chinati Foundation.Abstract
Donald Judd’s interest in the exhibition conditions of his work and that of contemporary artists,would have been decisive in an architectural activity, with which he tested the spatiality of the artistic exhibition. That is why, with the research presented here, we want to discover some of the keys to his notion of exhibition space, with which he carried out these interventions in architecture. The interpretation of these keys acquires special relevance in an interdisciplinary context, but especially in the exhibition practice, for its singular application in The Chinati Foundation.An institution that was designed as an artistic colony in Marfa, Texas, where the critical position of the American artist was refected in the adequacy of its facilities. Thus, the study is based on a visit to the spaces that make up the foundation and on the in situ consultation of the original material prepared by Judd. A methodology that has allowed to deepen in that spatial approach, that led the artist to work actively in the exhibition adaptation. From this, his intentions to merge art and architecture are recognized, in a unified and integrating whole thatmakes The Chinati Foundation a unique museum.
