Julia Lübbecke

©Daniel Sadrowski

Julia Lübbecke (*1989 in Gießen) studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, at UMPRUM - Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig. After graduating, she completed the postgraduate programme Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt 2020.

Her transdisciplinary practice includes sculptural installations, photography, text, video and performative elements. In her work, she deals with the relation between body, institution and affects. She uses this connection to analyse dominant structures of order and works on processes to make them fragile. She is particularly interested in the potential of desire or discomfort, which serve as the focal points of her subjective archive. She uses this term to describe her own practice of collecting and constructing, which aims to develop an ephemeral method of sharing and remembering knowledge abandoning classifications and categorizations.

From October until December 2021, Julia Lübbecke was a resident at the Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets in Bochum.

Xanten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
