Julie Ault (*1957) is an artist, curator, writer, and editor, whose work emphasizes and celebrates the complex interrelationships between cultural production and politics. The collection of artworks Ault has assembled over the last 30 years speaks to her practice as one built on exchange, friendship and a critical notion of mutable histories.00'Tell it to my heart Collected by Julie Ault' accompanies a series of three exhibitions that were staged in Basel, Lisbon and New York. Volume 2 follows a more reflective and distanced mode than its predecessor, including installation images of the three-part exhibition, and a series of essays from scholars and curators that respond to the overall character and process of 'Tell it to my heart'. The publication also includes a comprehensive checklist of artworks exhibited across the three venues, as well as those works included in the film programs accompanying each exhibition

Spanning more than three decades, In Part brings together a full spectrum of the New York-based artist, writer and activist Julie Ault's (born 1957) published texts through carefully selected extracts in a single volume. Reprinted in chronological sequence alongside a selection of full-length texts, this series of excerpts offers a timeline of Ault's continuous artistic growth, longstanding political concerns and dynamic interpersonal affinities. Beginning in the 1980s with texts written with her collaborators in Group Material, In Part highlights Ault's shift from exhibition making in the mid-1990s to include publishing and writing. Ault's dialogic practice extends to the present day through her sustained engagements and relationships with such artists as Corita Kent, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Nancy Spero, Martin Beck, David Wojnarowicz, Liberace and Martin Wong. Lucy R. Lippard contributes an introduction.
"Admired by Charles and Ray Eames, Buckminster Fuller and Saul Bass, Sister Corita Kent (1918-1986) was one of the most innovative and unusual pop artist of the 1960s, battling the political and religious establishments, revolutionizing graphic design and encouraging creativity of thousands of people--all while living and practicing as a Catholic nun in California. Mixing advertising slogans and poetry in her prints and commandeering nuns and students to help make ambitious installations, processions and banners, Sister Corita's work is now recognized as some of the most striking--and joyful--American art of the 60s. But, at the end of the decade and at the height of her fame and prodigious work rate, she left the convent where she had spent her adult life. Julie Ault's book ls the first to examine Corita's life and career, containing more than 90 illustrations, many reproduced for the first time, capturing the artist's use of vibrant and day-glo colors."--Page 4 of cover.

1989 wurden die damaligen Mitglieder von Group Material – Doug Ashford, Julie Ault, Felix Gonzalez-Torres und Karen Ramspacher – von der MATRIX Gallery am Berkeley University Art Museum dazu eingeladen, sich mit dem Thema AIDS auseinanderzusetzen. Die Künstler trugen ihre Recherchen in einer nach Jahren strukturierten Übersicht über die Umstände zusammen, unter denen sich die Epidemie in eine nationale Krise gewandelt hatte. Untersucht wurden Ereignisse in den Bereichen Medizin, Politik und Statistik, Darstellungen von AIDS in den Medien und künstlerische Resonanzen. Die AIDS Timeline, die in diesem Notizbuch abgedruckt ist, informiert über die verbreitete Stigmatisierung von Menschen mit AIDS, dokumentiert den Einfluss, den Homophobie und Rassismus auf die Herausbildung der öffentlichen Ordnung ausüben und stellt dies in einem größeren gesellschaftspolitischen Zusammenhang. Doug Ashford (*1958) ist Künstler, Autor sowie assoziierter Professor an der Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York . Julie Ault (*1957) arbeitet als Künstlerin, Kuratorin, Herausgeberin und Autorin. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
"Exploring one of the most influential methods of contemporary cultural production, Self-Organised takes a broad view on the matter. Artists, curators and critics discuss empirical and theoretical approaches from Europe, Africa and South and North America to how self-organisation today oscillates between the self and the group, self-imposed bureaucratisation and flexibilism, aestheticisation and activism. The contributors identify now as a crucial moment to propose ways forward for parallel initiatives and institutions alike: from de-organisation and waiting, to rupture and coexistence of aesthetics and politics. However, what they all seem to share is a refreshing search for critical platforms of citizenship, harnessing self-determination in the wake of neo-liberal mainstreaming and right-wing populism alike." --> z ov.
This is a documentation of the artist's entire career, placing his work in the context of the 1980s, a decade which saw a rich array of new art-making practices, from the psychoanalytical discourse of feminist art to collaborative public projects with a social agenda. Nancy Spector also explores the major themes running through his art: travel, the body, light, political activism, homosexual desire and a quest for formal perfection.
