Works

edit

On January 11, 2009, she was funded by The Brooklyn Arts Council to create an installation in Fort Greene Park entitled Leaves of Fort Greene.[9]

While attending the Slade School of Art in London she completed two other major public art works. The first was entitled "Colouring the Invisible," at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SEESS).[10] The second was a work entitled "£1 000 000 | 1 000 opinions (where would you allocate £1 000 000 of public spending?)".[11][12]

 
£1 000 000 | 1 000 opinions, by Julia Vogl. Created at University College London, 2011. Made from 1000 individuals' views on where public money should be spent. Included in the Public Art Year in Review 2012 by American for the Arts.

In 2012, Vogl received the Catlin Art Prize.[13] She also received an Arts Council England Grant to make a public art project in Peckham, entitled HOME.[14][15]

During 2013, Vogl was involved in a participatory artwork at the Discovery Museum Newcastle upon Tyne. The medium of the piece was recycled plastic bottles.[16][17] Her work in Newcastle was the result of a Museums At Night competition[18] that matched ten contemporary artists with ten museums for the weekend of May 16–18, 2013.[19]

Vogl created an installation called "Tyson's Tiles" in Washington, D.C., 2015.[20][21] The public artwork consisted of ground murals that incorporated information gathered through community engagement of over a thousand participants. The project aimed to raise awareness of public art.[22]

From 2013 to 2016, Vogl created Social Protest, an interactive book reflecting 457 protests from 8 countries and 31 cities collected in 2013, published via kickstarter in 2016.[23] The book was designed by Michael Lum.[24]

Vogl co-founded the London Brain Project with neuroscientists Louise Weiss, George Pitts and Michelle Downes, in 2013-2018.[25] They facilitated workshops and exhibitions between scientists, artists, and people living with neurological conditions, to break stereotypes of these conditions for the wider public. The conditions included: Epilepsy, Tourettes, Anxiety, Dementia and Brain injury in Childhood.[26][27] [28]

In 2018, the Jewish Arts Collaborative recruited Vogl to create "Pathways to Freedom,"[29] a project that included a process of interviewing people in Boston about the ways that they felt free, as well as a graphical representation of these opinions. Individual participants received custom buttons related to their answers,[30] which also influenced an artwork installed at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Boston Common from April 25 to May 14, 2018.[31][32]
