Julian Myers is visiting faculty in SFAI’s School of Interdisciplinary Studies. He teaches in the History and Theory of Contemporary Art and the Exhibition and Museum Studies programs. He is an art historian whose research centers on sculpture and spatial politics in the twentieth century, the social and political dynamics of consumer society, and the sociohistorical frameworks for contemporary art and exhibition. He is the author of monographs on such figures as Tariq Alvi, Trisha Donnelly, Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, Eric Wesley, and the Independent Group. Recent articles include “Totality: A Guided Tour”—on Harald Szeemann’s 1983 exhibition The Tendency to a Synthesis of the Arts (Afterall, 2009)—and a feature on the artist Sterling Ruby in Frieze in 2009. In 2009, Myers received an Arts Writers Grant from Creative Capital/Warhol Foundation for Mirror-travel in the Motor City, a collaborative book with artist Edgar Arceneaux on earthworks, drawing, Detroit, urban warfare, and guerrilla historiography.
