Untitled 1978

Editor: Here we have an untitled piece by Donald Judd. The simplicity is striking, just a box really, or the idea of a box. What jumps out at you? Curator: It's funny, isn't it? Judd's boxes often feel like questions disguised as geometry. Is it about the object itself, or the space it defines? Is there a difference? Perhaps, its beauty lies in its quiet refusal to be anything more than what it is. Editor: So, it is not meant to represent anything? Curator: Maybe it’s about pure form, challenging our impulse to find meaning where there might not be any. It's like a Zen koan, really. What do you make of the negative space? Editor: It makes me see how much is actually *not* there, which is interesting, isn’t it? Curator: Indeed! A lesson in seeing, perhaps?
