Special Instructions

Julie Green was born in Japan in 1961. She has moved a lot, and this may be the reasons her work is small and can be easily carried. Green attempts to set up life in a way that promotes creative practice: for example, as an adult she has never had a TV. Studio time is divided between narrative paintings, video, and an on-going project called The Last Supper illustrating 400 final meal requests of US death row inmates. While the plates are quite different than the paintings and the videos, all are observations of contemporary society. Green is driven to the studio to make some sense of our world, by questioning and meditating. Andy Warhol said the artist of the future will simply point. Green points.
