Judd Foundation News
Judd Foundation is pleased to announce that it has recently been awarded the Save America’s Treasures grant by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities and the National Park Service, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This award is given to preserve the nation’s most significant endangered intellectual and cultural artifacts, historic structures and sites.  Of the 327 groups that applied for the grants, only 42 were awarded.  Judd Foundation received a $200,000 matching grant, earmarked for the preservation of the historic cast-iron façade of 101 Spring Street, New York, the first building Donald Judd owned and the one in which his idea of “permanent installation” was first realized.

Klaxons vs. Donald Judd
Tate Modern
Bankside, London

As part of an exhibition concept to invite contemporary musical groups to find inspiration from works in their permanent collection, Tate Modern invited the Klaxons to write a track based upon any work in their galleries, which inspiresd them. They selected  Donald Judd’s Untitled (1980), a ‘stack’ sculpture composed of ten units made of steel, aluminum, and Perspex. The track can only be heard in the gallery, next to the sculpture.
