In 1987, Donald Judd wrote, “Art and architecture—all the arts—do not have to exist in isolation, as they do now. This fault is very much a key to the present society. Architecture is nearly gone, but it, art, all the arts, in facet all parts of society, have to be rejoined, and joined more than they have ever been.”

Trisha Brown recalls SoHo in her Judd Foundation Oral History Interview in 2007, “I came here in ’65 with an infant son. We were out on the street in SoHo, there weren’t parks down here, there weren’t markets. So my mind was racing with ideas, because I was in a highly charged learning process through this collective of dancers and their friends. It was empty, it was the Wild West here. My mind was just free-wheeling. And I had a rule…You have one year Trisha, I wrote it in my notebook. And if I hadn’t done it, I had to just get rid of it. I couldn’t go on saving it, hoarding it. And so I would find allies who would help me, and mount these pieces.”

“101 Spring Street has a long history of being a home to music and dance. We are thrilled that this collaboration with Trisha Brown Dance Company is able to continue that history of Spring Street being a unique space to experience the arts.” – Rainer Judd, Co-President, Judd Foundation

“Don and Trisha were friends, neighbors and collaborators for close to a quarter of a century. The proximity was not reserved for the geographic and they both contributed greatly to the American renaissance of the 1960’s-1970’s.” – Flavin Judd, Co-President, Judd Foundation
