Julie Niemi (b. 1988, Fayetteville, Arkansas, raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an independent curator, writer, and editor based in Los Angeles, CA. Through research, design, writing, and exhibition making, her projects grapple with counter histories in the United States. These projects typically look to the built-environment as a starting point for inquiry, utilizing scraps of archives and natural resources to tell a longer story of unknown persons, regional places, nameless figures, and collectives.
Currently, she co-runs Diagram Press, is part of the working group Collective Question, and a recent recipient of a grant from the Foundation for Arts Initiatives.
Julie received an M.A. from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, where she was commissioning editor of aCCeSsions. Her thesis at CCS Bard was on Tolstoy College, an anarchist educational community active at the University at Buffalo in the 1970s and ‘80s. From 2013–2015, she was co-founder and editor of VIA Publication. Her writing has appeared in Frieze, Temporary Art Review, CAS, and Art21 Magazine.
Her recent exhibitions and projects include:
The Autotopographers
The Barn
K8 Hardy: Undergirding Heroine Ensemble
Studies from the Bottom Up
Previously, she held positions as Assistant Curator at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI; Curatorial Fellow at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo; and Communications Associate at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
She has provided editorial and marketing support for: RAM Publications, Los Angeles; Project Projects, New York; Inventory Press, New York; and East of Borneo, Los Angeles. She has given talks at the Centre Pompidou, University of California, Los Angeles, Independent Curators International, and Threewalls.
