Julie Orser

Julie Orser’s work merges art and cinema through video art and multimedia installations incorporating animation, sculpture, photography, and sound. From a feminist perspective, her work critically examines mainstream media, with a focus on gender representation, narrative structures, and the depiction of visual artists in popular cinema. Orser’s work investigates how cultural narratives and visual systems shape identity and creative expression through alternative modes of viewer engagement. Orser received her MFA in Studio Art from California Institute of the Arts and her works have exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Yuz Museum (Shanghai), Luckman Gallery (Los Angeles), Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum, Il Magazzino d’Arte Moderna (Rome), Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), The Gallery Loop (Seoul), Shoshana Wayne Gallery (Santa Monica), Torrance Art Museum, Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Athens International Film + Video Festival and Souvenirs From Earth. Orser is a recipient of the CCF Emerging Artist Fellowship (2010), the CCI Investing in Artists grants (2009, 2014), and her work is currently on view in Metro Art’s public moving image art installation at Leimert Park Station through 2027. Julie is a professor and the area head of the Creative Photography & Experimental Media program at CSUF. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
