Other People’s Art: A Roundtable on Delegated Fabrication A roundtable discussion with short presentations from the speakers on delegated fabrication in art and issues arising from it, including questions of labour and value. Speakers: Peter Ballantine (former fabricator for Donald Judd); Danielle Childs (author of Working Aesthetics: Labour, Art and Capitalism, Bloomsbury, 2019) and Martha Buskirk (author of The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art, MIT, 2003, and Creative Enterprise: Contemporary Art Between Museum and Marketplace, Continuum/Bloomsbury, 2012). Chair: Tamara Trodd (author of The Art of Mechanical Reproduction, Chicago, 2015). Speaker biographies: Peter Ballantine Peter Ballantine has specialised in the works and philosophy of Donald Judd since 1969. He first met Judd while he was a fellow at the Whitney Museum Independent Studies Program in 1968, and began working for him the following year. Between 1971 and Judd’s death in 1994, Ballantine fabricated nearly 250 Judd works himself, sometimes also supervising other US and European fabricators on Judd's behalf. Since 1994 he has restored at least 500 Judd works. Now based in New York, Ballantine lectures and writes on Judd and issues arising from Judd’s work, and has curated 40 Judd exhibitions, including – closest to home – ‘Working Papers’ at the Talbot Rice in 2012. He is founding director of the Advanced Visual Studies/Judd-Hume Prize, an international programme based in Edinburgh, with connections to the university’s departments of art history, philosophy, and architecture. Dr Danielle Child Danielle Child is Senior Lecturer in Art History at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research takes a historical materialist approach to explore the relationship between contemporary art and capitalism through the lens of labour. She is interested in the invisible hands of the makers of art and how changing modes of work within contemporary capitalism have affected artistic practice. Her book Working Aesthetics: Labour, Art and Capitalism was published in January 2019 with Bloomsbury Academic. Professor Martha Buskirk Martha Buskirk is Professor of art history and criticism at Montserrat College of Art. She is author of Creative Enterprise: Contemporary Art between Museum and Marketplace (Continuum/Bloomsbury, 2012) and The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art (MIT Press, 2003), and she is co-editor of The Duchamp Effect (with Mignon Nixon, MIT Press, 1996) as well as The Destruction of Tilted Arc: Documents (with Clara Weyergraf-Serra, MIT Press, 1990). She has written numerous essays and articles that have appeared in Artforum, October, Art in America, and other venues, including various anthologies and museum catalogues. Her forthcoming book, Is It Ours? Art Copyright and Public Interest (University of California Press, 2021), examines the interplay between artistic authorship and legal definitions of intellectual property. She is currently in Edinburgh for the writing residency associated with the Advanced Visual Studies / Judd-Hume Prize.
