Rainer Judd
Diana Nguyen speaks to Rainer Judd, the daughter of the late artist Donald Judd and the president of the Judd Foundation. The organization maintains and preserves Judd’s permanently installed spaces and archives in New York and Marfa.
They discuss the reasons her father moved to the Big Bend and Rainer’s Marfa roots.
YACHT
Later on the show, Nguyen speaks to Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, members of the LA-based band YACHT.
Over the years, they’ve made it a tradition to record their albums in Marfa. Most recently, they came out to Far West Texas in 2018 to work on their seventh album, Chain Tripping, which came out on DFA Records in 2019.
The band talks about how they used artificial intelligence as a creative tool in the writing process for their latest record, their long history as collaborators, and why they keep coming back to Marfa.
