About
Julie Adler is a visual and performance artist who uses a multiple of mediums including, but not limited to painting and drawing, music, installation, and video. She holds an MFA in Visual Arts and Music (Voice) from California Institute of the Arts and BFA from Cooper Union in New York. She also did a year residency in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, in studio with artist Annette Messager and guidance from Mona Hatoum. She has created numerous performance works for such venues as REDCAT, Beyond Baroque, Theater in My Basement, Dangerous Curve, Highways, Cal State Long Beach and Fullerton. She has also collaborated with many Cal Arts alums and faculty – scoring theatrical works to choreography, and participating in recitals, concerts and operas, from California to Australia. Julie also co-produced (with multi-media artist Jacki Apple) ‘EARJAM’, a Los Angeles based new music festival that ran for four consecutive years and included most of LA’s experimental music community, and she created ‘Vocal Lounge’, a monthly music/vocal series as well. And she produced and curated ‘Call & Response’, a benefit concert for and featuring the Tibetan monks of Drepung Gomang monastery in South India juxtaposed with the works of contemporary classical composers. Currently based in Los Angeles, and after years of performance, she has returned to a studio practice of painting and drawing, and is in the process of developing new work for exhibition.
