BETWEEN SPRING STREET AND MARFA

FILM

Rainer Judd is a filmmaker, artist, and President of Judd Foundation, which maintains the permanently installed living and working spaces, libraries, and archives of her father, artist Donald Judd, in New York and Marfa, Texas. Born in 1970, she grew up between 101 Spring Street in SoHo and the high desert landscape of West Texas. Her work as a filmmaker includes co-directing Marfa Voices (2007), an intimate documentary exploring her father's legacy and the town he transformed, alongside short films and collaborations with directors including Francis Ford Coppola and Gus Van Sant. As a visual artist, her practice encompasses drawing, photography, and installation, with commissions for Rag & Bone, Ace Hotel London, and exhibitions across New York, Los Angeles, and Austin. Beyond her creative work, she oversees land stewardship initiatives including a 34,000-acre conservation easement in the Chinati Mountains and serves on the board of The Safina Center, reflecting her commitment to environmental conservation alongside her dedication to preserving her father's architectural and artistic vision.
