ABOUT JULIE'S WORK
Julie Ault is an artist and curator activating and preserving art’s capacity to effect social change. In artmaking that takes the form of exhibition making, art criticism and theory, and historical chronicles, Ault explores how art shapes and is shaped by the political, social, economic, and aesthetic circumstances of a given moment.

She was a founding member of and one of the driving forces of Group Material, an artist collective active between 1979 and 1996 whose collaborative approach to creating and presenting art pioneered a new model for the role of art and the artist in contemporary society. Group Material challenged the precedents of museums and galleries, displaying posters, advertisements, and other ephemera from popular culture alongside recognized art objects and using the exhibition format as a means of communicating and organizing disparate forms of information. AIDS Timeline (first exhibited in 1989), for example, combined works of art, public health statistics, policy information, and media coverage in a vital presentation of facts, context, and cultural responses to the AIDS crisis at a time when political agendas thwarted efforts to educate the broader public.

In her more recent work, Ault has focused on research and the mobilization of materials and information to bring histories of activism in art to light. For the exhibition Afterlife: a constellation (2014), she brought together a selection of works by other artists, such as David Wojnarowicz (1954­–1992) and Martin Wong (1946–1999), their personal artifacts, and her own writing into an evocative assemblage that connected the experiences and creative practices of past and present artistic figures. Her book, Alternative Art New York, 1965–1985 (2002) documents the critical role that alternative art groups and spaces played in the development of politically progressive and inclusive practices, and she has brought the silkscreen prints of Sister Corita Kent (1918–1986), an activist artist and nun, to the attention of a large audience both within and outside of the art world through writings and exhibitions. With an unconventional approach to producing and exhibiting art and an eye toward pressing social concerns, Ault is safeguarding an ethical impulse in art as it navigates contemporary institutions of culture and power.

BIOGRAPHY
Julie Ault received a B.A. (1995) from Hunter College of the City University of New York and a Ph.D. (2011) from the Malmö Art Academy of Lund University. She was a co-founder of the art collective Group Material (active between 1979 and 1996), and her work as an artist and curator has been exhibited at the São Paulo and Whitney Biennials and at such venues as Artists Space, the Weatherspoon Art Museum, and the Secession, Vienna, among others. She has been a visiting lecturer at the University of California at Los Angeles, Portland State University, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Cooper Union, and the California College of the Arts. Her additional publications include Show and Tell: A Chronicle of Group Material (2010), Two Cabins by James Benning (2011), and In Part: Writings by Julie Ault (2017).

关于朱莉的工作
朱莉-奥特是一位艺术家和策展人，她激活并保护艺术影响社会变革的能力。在以展览制作、艺术批评和理论以及历史编年史为形式的艺术创作中，奥尔特探索了艺术如何塑造和被特定时刻的政治、社会、经济和审美环境所塑造。

她是Group Material的创始成员和推动者之一，Group Material是一个活跃于1979年至1996年的艺术家团体，其创作和展示艺术的合作方式为艺术和艺术家在当代社会的角色开创了新的模式。Group Material挑战了博物馆和画廊的先例，将海报、广告和其他流行文化中的偶发物与公认的艺术物品一起展示，并将展览形式作为沟通和组织不同形式信息的手段。例如，《艾滋病时间表》（1989年首次展出）将艺术作品、公共卫生统计数据、政策信息和媒体报道结合在一起，对事实、背景和对艾滋病危机的文化反应进行了重要介绍，当时政治议程阻碍了对更广泛的公众进行教育的努力。

在她最近的工作中，奥尔特专注于研究和调动材料和信息，以使艺术中的活动历史得到曝光。在展览 "来世：星座"（2014年）中，她将其他艺术家，如大卫-沃纳罗维茨（1954-1992）和马丁-黄（1946-1999）的作品、他们的个人物品和她自己的写作汇集成一个令人回味的组合，将过去和现在的艺术人物的经历和创作实践联系起来。她的书《纽约另类艺术，1965-1985》（2002年）记录了另类艺术团体和空间在政治进步和包容性实践的发展中所发挥的关键作用，她通过写作和展览使艺术界内外的大量观众注意到科里塔-肯特修女（1918-1986）的丝网印刷品。奥特以一种非传统的方式来制作和展示艺术，并着眼于紧迫的社会问题，在艺术导航当代文化和权力机构的过程中维护着道德的冲动。
