DOCUTAH presents Tom Judd: “Lost Highway”
DOCUTAH will present a film documentary in the Sears Gallery during their September event about artist Tom Judd and present his artwork in the Sears Gallery opening August 22nd in his exhibit entitled "Lost Highway." This exhibit is an extension of his fascination with using cardboard as a surface to make artwork. This will include his huge map of the world “The World is Flat” as well as a series of portraits of his family's cars growing up in Salt Lake City during the 1960's. The car portraits, although comical at times, will take viewers down the roads and byways of their own memories and America’s love affair with speed, travel, and the automobile. The film documentary, "Welcome, Welcome" produced and directed by John Thornton, is a short overview about Judd’s life and work. Beginning with a show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1979, his career took off and has produced an impressive 30-year span. His résumé includes extensive exhibits in galleries and museums, inclusion in important collections, and special projects. These include murals, short films, billboard art, chalk drawings, collaborations, and installations.
