Brian Eno

Posting about Doug Wheeler made me think about other artists who work in the realm of creating experience that I find to be a cousin of formalist painting. Most of us know this Brit from his musical oeuvre. What he says about his brand of empty formalism is right on, and we share a modality where some artist license/control is measured against chance as an actual tool.

Donald Judd

The feature image for this Artforum announcement caught my eye since it’s new to me, although I’m familiar with Judd’s 2D work. I am inspired to spend some time reading this week some of what Judd “wrote extensively on the importance of land preservation, empirical knowl­edge, and engaged citizenship.”
