Julia Born is a Swiss graphic designer who studied at Amsterdam’s Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Her practice encapsulates an inquiry into the formats of editorial and exhibition design, challenging them and expanding the notion of design across media and disciplines. Language and its ambiguous qualities are at the center of her project, which she explores through commissioned and independent work, in close dialogue with artists, curators, and cultural institutions. Born teaches editorial design at Master Type Design at ECAL in Lausanne, and is a visiting lecturer at international art and design institutes. Solo exhibitions include All Capitals (MACRO—Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma, 2022) and Title of the Show (Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig, 2009). She is the recipient of the Swiss Grand Award for Design, awarded by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture in 2021.
