"Conversation" with Julie Ault

Julie Ault will lecture on her forthcoming book, Alternative Art New York, 1965-1985 (University of Minnesota Press and The Drawing Center, New York, 2002), a multifaceted history of New York's alternative art scene during a time of rapid social change.

Julie Ault is an artist who frequently assumes a curatorial role as a form of practice, individually and collaboratively organizing exhibitions, multiform projects and publications. Ault is a founding member of Group Material, a New York-based artists collaborative that has produced over fifty exhibitions and public projects exploring relationships between politics and aesthetics between 1979 and 1996. She has taught at Ecole Supérieure d'Art Visuel in Geneva, UCLA, the Rhode Island School of Design, CalArts, and the Cooper Union.

The “Conversations” series sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies includes lectures and more informal discussions by visiting artists, curators, critics, and scholars who are invited to speak about recent work, current exhibitions, and important issues in the contemporary visual arts.

All Bard faculty, staff, and students are welcome to join us for these presentations.
