Check this out a Scottish PRIVATE ISLAND (Isle of Eigg pop;100) is being set up to be " Something like the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas "

what-has-the-isle-of-eigg-and-marfatexas-got-in-common ?

Marfa is situated in the high desert of far West Texas in Presidio County, located between the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National Park, with a population of about 2000 – twenty times the population of The Isle of Eigg I know, but I think there is a model here to look at.

Donald Judd

In 1971,minimalist artist Donald Judd moved to Marfa from New York City. After renting summer houses for a couple of years, he bought two large hangars and some smaller buildings and began to permanently install his art.

In 1976, he bought the first of two ranches that would become his primary places of residence, continuing a long love affair with the desert landscape surrounding Marfa. Later, with assistance from the Dia Art Foundation in New York, Judd acquired decommissioned Fort D.A. Russell, and began transforming the fort’s buildings into art spaces in 1979. Judd’s vision was to house large collections of individual artists’ work on permanent display, as a sort of anti-museum. Judd believed the prevailing model of a museum, where art is shown for short periods of time, does not allow the viewer an understanding of the artist or their work as they intended.

Donald Judd Marfa Texas

Since Judd’s death in 1994, two foundations have worked to maintain his legacy: the Chinati Foundation and Judd Foundation. Every year the Chinati Foundation holds an open house event where artists, collectors, and enthusiasts come from around the world to visit Marfa’s art. Since 1997, Open House has been co-sponsored by both foundations and attracts visitors from around the world. The Chinati Foundation now occupies more than 10 buildings at the site and has on permanent exhibit work by artists such as Ingólfur Arnarson, Dan Flavin, and Claes Oldenburg.

Of course what works in Marfa won’t necessarily work on Eigg, but there is something to be explored about the relationship with individual artists and remote communities. I have absolutely no doubt that Eigg Box will be an extraordinary place to visit and I hope to be there myself one day soon. We, who are engaged in the debate about the role of arts in the community should look at the Isle of Eigg with great interest. I think we will all learn a lot from the way they are creating space for people and art.

At the center of the Chinati Foundation’s permanent collection are 100 untitled works in mill aluminum by Donald Judd installed in two former artillery sheds. The size and scale of the buildings determined the nature of the installation, and Judd adapted the buildings specifically for this purpose. He replaced derelict garage doors with long walls of continuous squared and quartered windows which flood the spaces with light. Judd also added a vaulted roof in galvanized iron on top of the original flat roof, thus doubling the buildings’ height. The semi-circular ends of the roof vaults were to be made of glass.

Each of the 100 works has the same outer dimensions (41 x 51 x 72 inches),
