Chapter 3: Artwork To The People
In 1997, Tom Judd curated a month long rotating exhibition at the TZ Art Gallery in New York City called “The Chalkboard Chronicles”.

Throughout the process, artists were interviewed before, during and after their time appearing in the creative act to gallery pedestrians.
