Julia Vogl is an artist originally from Washington, D.C. who lives and works in London, England. She is a social sculptor,[1] and primarily makes public art.[2] Through a process of community engagement, her works build bright color into existing architectural landmarks, revealing local cultural values.[3]
On January 11, 2009, she was funded by The Brooklyn Arts Council to create an installation in Fort Greene Park entitled Leaves of Fort Greene.[4]
While attending the Slade School of Art in London she completed two other major public art works. The first was entitled "Colouring the Invisible," at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SEESS).[5] The second was a work entitled "£1 000 000 | 1 000 opinions (where would you allocate £1 000 000 of public spending?)".[6] [7]
