Foredrag med Julia Born tirsdag 6. januar
Grafill Grafisk design inviterer til foredrag med grafisk designer Julia Born (Berlin). Foredraget tar utgangspunkt i tre av hennes nyeste bokprosjekter. Felles for de tre bøkene er at de i hovedsak er basert på bildemateriale.
Til foredraget har Born invitert fotograf og filmskaper Michel Auder (NYC). Julia Born og Michel Auder vil snakke om samarbeidet med boken Stories, Myths, Ironies, and Other Songs: Conceived, Directed, Edited, and Produced by M. Auder (Sternberg).
Foredraget er gratis og åpent for alle. Velkommen!
Tirsdag 6. januar, kl 19:00.

Julia Born
Julia Born is a Swiss designer living in Berlin. After graduating from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2000 she started her own practice in Amsterdam before relocating to Berlin in 2012. She has produced work for a variety of cultural clients such as the Swiss Federal Office of Culture, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Royal Dutch post TNT, Centre Culturel Suisse in Paris, Casco Office for Art, Design and Theory, Kunsthalle Basel, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, and most recently documenta 14 under the artistic direction of Adam Szymczyk. The work, developed in close dialogue with institutions, curators and artists, includes books, magazines, exhibition design, identites and more.
Apart from commissioned work she has continuously collaborated with other designers and artists on investigative projects, such as photographer Uta Eisenreich, fashion designer Joff, and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis. These projects revolve around the subject of language and representation.
She teaches graphic design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, was appointed critic in graphic design at Yale School of Arts in 2008 and is visiting lecturer at various art and design institutes throughout Europe. From 2003 to 2007 she has been a jury member of “The Most Beautiful Swiss Books” competition.
On the occasion of the Inform Award for Conceptural Design, she produced her first solo show and the catalogue “Title of the Show”, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig. Among other prizes she received the Jan Tschichold Prize in 2011. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
Michel Auder
Since his arrival in New York in 1969, the French artist Michel Auder (b. 1945, Soissons, France) has authored more than five hundred video works that chart five decades of the medium’s history. Employing new video formats as they become available, many of which have quickly fallen into obsolescence, Auder has prolifically produced short and feature films as well as video installations and photography that transgress genres, gleaning the fields of art history, literature, commercial television, and experimental cinema. At once poetic and critical, cruel and confessional, Auder’s casually virtuosic oeuvre continues to disrupt traditional perceptual habits of moviegoers and art audiences alike, subverting notions of filmic narrative and process.
