Julia Schuster
Julia Schuster (1989, Vienna) is an interdisciplinary artist who is currently based in Bollebygd, rural Sweden. She holds an MA in ceramics from the Royal College of Art in London and a BA in design from the Facoltà di Design e Arti, Libera Università di Bolzano, Italy. Her practice is situated in the expanded field of ceramics, mixing sculpture installations, poetry, photography, sound and video. The unique cellular memory of clay is examined in relation to the memory of our own human bodies. She explores how materiality, writing and the body’s inward and outward movements come together. The poetic dialogue between clay and language is expressed in her self-published artists’ books. Her work has been shown at Röda Sten Konsthall, GIBCA Extended 2021, Boy konsthall, Rich Mix London, Photo Kathmandu, British Ceramics Biennial, Free Space Project – Kentish Town Health Centre, The Lighthouse, and ar/ge gallery amongst others.
