Document Summary

Part i: compare & contrast: a) donald judd, untitled (large stacks), 1968. Regular rhythm in the units, individual pieces are subordinate to the whole. Different stacks all use same geometric materials and principles of his work. All units are identical in each series, they are all meant to sit exactly spaced out on the wall so that no one unit is thought to be heavier than the others. Equal space between each unit that equals exact height of the individual unit. Goal is to make stacks accordingly so they can reach the ceiling every time. Interest in showing you empty space and materials of making the art. Nothing is hidden from the viewer in regard to construction of these works (this was seen as problematic as many viewers like intrigue behind art) Almost an endless set of structures within the cube. Interest in light/space/movement, see objects change through time/space. Appears different to viewers at different viewpoints, small cubes repeat.
