Ohioana Citation for Visual Arts: 2005

Jud Yalkut, Dayton OH

Jud Yalkut of Dayton has been a groundbreaking artist in film and video. He attended City College in New York for a year before transferring to McGill University in Canada to study nuclear physics, but quickly shifted to English literature and the study and writing of poetry.

In his third year, Yalkut left academe to take up travel. His interest in eastern religions and the gift of an 8 mm camera led to his creating such experimental works as Diffraction Film, Turn, Turn, Turn (in collaboration with Nam June Paik), Vision Cantos and most recently Light Display: Color.

Yalkut’s work has been collected by or shown at the Whitney Museum in New York, the Pompidou Center in Paris and the Dayton Art Institute, among others. His honors include six Ohio Arts Council Fellowships and media grants from the Ohio Humanities Council.
