Marfa Voices Trailer

"Marfa Voices" (2010, 25 minutes), a short documentary film by Rainer Judd and produced by Judd Foundation, will be on view at David Zwirner (519 West 19thStreet) in New York on Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm. The event coincides with the last day of the exhibition, Donald Judd, which spans the gallery's spaces at 525 and 533 West 19th Street.

The film portrays an intimate and unique view of the artist Donald Judd (1928-1994). As one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Judd shared his artistic vision and process with those working around him, including assistants, fabricators, friends, dealers, and many of the most prominent artists, scholars and collectors of the time. The film, which Ms. Judd co-directed with Karen Bernstein, features excerpts from these interviews and is a collection of vivid anecdotes and personal reflections by residents of Marfa, Texas, where Judd lived and worked, who had special connections to both Judd's artistic practice and his life as a townsperson for nearly 20 years.

Rainer Judd is the daughter of artist Donald Judd. A graduate of New York University's Film program, she has worked with directors such as Francis Coppola and Gus Van Sant, both in front of and behind the camera. She became a co-executor of the Judd Estate in 1994. In 1996, she became a founding trustee of Judd Foundation and now serves as President of the Board. Since 2006, she has overseen Judd Foundation's Oral History Project, which documents interviews with individuals who have unique and invaluable perspectives into Donald Judd's artistic philosophy and working method.
