Join Julia Dubsky In Conversation with Heike Karin Föll about 'titles' - when they discuss the origins of titling via Western painting history and the functions, or intentional dysfunctions, available in this convention today. They consider the title as a possible situating element and a signal; the title can be a 'readymade'; it can be extreme; a list of titles as form. Whatever the approach, titles are expected.

.Julia Dubsky is a painter, often dealing with mimetic relationships between perception and what is depicted. She begins with automatic drawing and mark making, allowing figurative motifs to appear and to be erased selectively. The style varies as though from observation and fantasy, or abstract material without illusions - reflecting a multiplicity of attitudes in each canvas.
