WWDJD? = What Would Donald Judd Do?
first mentioned in the Killroom photo: https://i.sli.mg/86mWlT.png
and this photo that JA commented "omg love" on: / http://archive.is/WXWbz
why the fasincation with boxes and walk-in coolers that big? they certainly all resemble holding cells/cages, shipping crates, refrigerated trains/trucks etc.
ABOUT DONALD JUDD
wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Judd
website: juddfoundation.org/ / http://archive.is/fMqsv
more information about his life and art - he was in the Army in the 40s, and became a pretty well known artist from NYC: http://www.theartstory.org/artist-judd-donald.htm / http://archive.is/yykEZ
his last studio was located in MARFA TX http://juddfoundation.org/visit/marfa/
(Marfa is the site of Judge Scalias death and reported Human Hunts - Dick Cheney "accidently" shot his buddy near there as well)
while in Marfa, he created these large concrete art pieces - https://www.chinati.org/collection/donaldjudd2.php / http://archive.is/N3L1L
GOOGLE MAP of same art pieces
he owned a LOT of land in Marfa: (from wiki)
"In 1971 he rented a house in Marfa, Texas as an antidote to the hectic New York art world. From this humble house he would later buy numerous buildings and a 60,000 acre (243 km²) Ayala de Chinati Ranch (not open to the public), almost all carefully restored to his exacting standards. 40,000 acres surrounding the three ranch headquarters were sold under a conservation easement, but Judd Foundation still maintains the buildings and the land immediately surrounding them."

question: why would a succesful NYC artist - suddenly move to the middle of nowhere bumfuck texas and start creating large concrete structures?
my theory: Judd was in the know being in the art scene - he was contracted by our government (CIA) to build large underground installations - which double as cells for Humans, very possible illegals crossing the border are being housed there before being hunted, used for further purposes - etc
very possible much of this in on his private ranch, Ayala de Chinati Ranch
-OR-
Judd is someone people admire because they like large square rooms. I don't claim to understand how a concrete square could be considered "art"... but that's just me -
of note: concrete is great for soundproofing, nothing would be heard through walls that thick, esp underground
something just seems strange about this whole thing
makes me wonder.....what WOULD Donald Judd do?

They would pour concrete or "fill it" after they are done....meaning pour concrete to hide the evidence.
