Commissions, grants, and residencies from Camargo Foundation, Cassis, France; Foundation for Contemporary Arts; Ox-Bow; City of New York Department of Records and Information Services; New York State Council on the Arts/Wave Farm; Jerome Foundation Fellowship at the Queens Museum; and many others. Weist’s writing has appeared in publications such as Triple Canopy, Frieze, Rhizome, Art in America, BOMB, and the artist book Sexy Librarian: A Novel, Critical Edition. She and her work have been the subject of articles in, among others, Artnet (“Artist Julia Weist Is Protesting the R Rating of Her New Film by Advertising the Project on a Times Square Billboard”); Document Journal (“Julia Weist’s Governing Body Questions What We Deem Indecent in the Scope of Mainstream Cinema”); Hyperallergic (“Julia Weist’s Public Record Probes the Impact of Artists on Cities”); Art in America (“Julia Weist Transforms New York City’s Archival Records into Artworks That Live in Digital Public Space”); and the New York Times (“Artists as ‘Creative Problem-Solvers’ at City Agencies”).
