On Artists Lecture Series, established in 2001, artists are invited to give informal lectures, talks, or other presentations focused on a single artist represented in Dia’s permanent collection, exhibitions or programming. Developed in the spirit of Dia’s mission, the series is motivated both by an in-depth focus on individual artists and a drive to facilitate new ideas and discourse across disciplines and generations. On this audio you can hear the lecture that begins in a basement real and fictional, with a chair and its function, however perverted, in the context of art by Donald Judd. Comparing the five floors of his studio and residence at 101 Spring Street in SoHo to a massive vitrine, Amie Siegel assembles an anthropological portrait of Judd through the objects with which he populated his vast ecosystem.
