Currently on view at Galerie Vedovi in Brussels is “Progressions,” a fresh look at the work of seminal American sculptorĀ Donald Judd. The exhibition focuses on Judd’s use of mathematical algorithms to create geometrical progressions. These systems are non-representational tools that offers viewers a neutral way to view the works. With the object autonomous, the focus turns to the wall and its relation to the object.

Judd is also the subject of another concurrent exhibition at David Zwirner Gallery, which opened during New York Gallery Week. It is a restaging of Judd’s 1989 exhibition at theĀ Staatliche Kunsthalle in Baden-Baden, Germany.
