Opening Reception and Discussion
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free

Concert
Tony Conrad, violin
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free
Conrad's various activities (music, filmmaking, visual arts) and associations (Jack Smith, Dream Syndicate) make his status as "legend" and "treasure" well warranted. A key figure in the development of Minimalist music and Structuralist film, Conrad's electrified and electrifying performances are wholly vital and without compromise. Delicate yet volatile, his spike and drone concoctions are some part fierce to some part sublime.
This concert will take place in the gallery.

Erica Cooke, Jadine Collingwood, Solveig Nelson, and Jennifer Sichel, led by Christine Mehring, Associate Professor of Art History, the University of Chicago

Judd's multiple roles as artist, critic, designer, activist, and curator will form the basis for discussion led by Mehring.
