Details

Join the book launch event of Julia Phillips' first monograph, "Energy Exchange", at the Graham Foundation in Chicago.

After the event, there will be a reception and copies of "Energy Exchange" will be available for purchase at the Graham Foundation bookshop. Phillips' sculptures are inspired by tools and functional objects, serving as metaphors for social and psychological experiences. These metaphors explore power relations between individuals and institutions. Phillips, a Hamburg-born artist, currently lives and works in Chicago and Berlin.

Her artwork is held in esteemed public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, MoMA, and Moderna Museet. Phillips recently completed a public art commission called "Observer, Observed" for the High Line in New York. Her work will also be featured in the upcoming Whitney Biennial in 2024.
