Julia Friedman or Yulia Friedman (Russian: Юлия Фри́дман) is a Russian-born art historian, critic and curator.
Friedman's trans-disciplinary work on European Modernism, Russian emigration and book art resulted in the illustrated monograph Beyond Symbolism and Surrealism, a book on the art of Alexei Remizov, published by Northwestern University Press in January 2011. In 2012 JAVA published a lengthy article about Friedman.[1] Her most recent publications, from 2016, are Dustbunnies and Wasted Words. These two volumes are based on the digital writings of Dave Hickey, an American art and cultural critic. She has been a contributor to Artforum,[2] and has a blog column in The Huffington Post.[3]
Academic career[edit]
She received her Ph.D. in Art History from Brown University in 2005 under Kermit S. Champa, and B.A. from University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1994.[citation needed]
Friedman has researched and taught at Waseda University, University of Tokyo, Durham University, Syracuse University, Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, University of California, Irvine, Arizona State University, California State University, Long Beach, and Temple University.[citation needed]
Reviews of Friedman's publications have appeared in The Times Literary Supplement, New York Observer, and Las Vegas Weekly, and a profile has appeared in Java magazine.[4]
Research[edit]
In 2014, art critic Dave Hickey began making posts on Facebook during an illness. Eighteen months later, Friedman suggested a project documenting his experience. Two books resulted from the collaboration: Wasted Words and Dust Bunnies, published in 2016.[5][6]
Wasted Words: The Essential Dave Hickey Online Compilation was published by PCP Press in 2016. It was compiled by Julia Friedman. The book features almost 3,000 digital comments on social media, prompting nearly 700,000 words in response from art lovers, acolytes, and skeptics between June 2014 and April 2015. These writings highlight the impact of digital technology on the author and his online-audience.[7][8][9]
Dust Bunnies: Dave Hickey's Online Aphorisms June 2014 - March 2015 was published by PCP Press in 2016. It was compiled and edited by Friedman. This book is a 124-page collection of fragments selected from Dave Hickey's social media pages during June 2014 and March 2015. These writings highlight verbal riffs of Hickey blasting away at digital natives and his online-audience.[10][11][12][13]
Both books, Wasted Words and Dust Bunnies, are discussed in a review published in The Times Literary Supplement in 2016.[14]
Curator[edit]
Friedman recently curated the exhibition, The Invisible Cosmology of Chihiro Kabata, for the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore. [15]
Friedman is mentioned in an issue of Coagula Art Journal where journal editor Mat Gleason wrote:
It was an academic who made Dave Hickey relevant again. Julia Friedman saw that the old codger's fitful Facebook encounters were more interesting than anything he'd written in two decades and, with the Sith Lord's blessing, published his online rantings, putting him back in that limelight he craves, and clearing a path for herself as one of art's top thinkers as well.[16][page needed]
Personal life[edit]
Friedman lives in Los Angeles, California.[citation needed]
