Julie Ault (*1957) cofounded the New York artists’ collaborative Group Material, which between 1979 and 1996, explored the relationship between art, activism, and politics through socially themed exhibitions and publicly-sited projects. Working both independently and collaboratively, Ault is an artist, curator, writer, and editor, wh0’s work emphasizes and celebrates the complex interrelationships between cultural production and politics. The collection of art Ault has assembled over the last 30 years is characterized by her visionary practice. This publication introduces the collection and, as the first of two volumes, includes a complete index of works along with detailed commentary from the diverse voices of the editors. In his essay, Marvin J. Taylor, engages his own experiences, impulses and thoughts on the notion of archiving and collecting. Photographs from Heinz Peter Knes show the works of art in Ault’s homes in New York and California.
