JULIE AULT / MARTIN BECK22 September 2006 - 12 November 2006 Julie Ault and Martin Beck, who make art both as a duo and as individuals, define their work as an extended form of cultural praxis. This takes a wide range of forms: besides works exhibited in institutional contexts (which they examine from inside, so to speak), they publish critical texts about artistic and general societal phenomena, and about their own work. In addition, they are also frequently responsible for the design of major exhibition projects (including X-Screen at MUMOK, Vienna, 2004). All these different approaches are founded on an interest in the archiving of knowledge and culture, in the ways cultural economies present themselves, how they change, and how they can be changed. How does the presentation of history and the past shape the image of the present? Which aspects of cultural practices are (deliberately) kept in the shadows of official historiography and why? To what extent are the design and content of exhibitions and publications interrelated and how can priorities be realized in accordance with the wishes of the authors? The care devoted by Julie Ault and Martin Beck to questions of design and design technique is reflected in their precise articulation of the fundamentals of artistic and intellectual production.Julie Ault (*1957) and Martin Beck (*1963) live and work in New York.
