About JULM Studios
Jason Urban and Leslie Mutchler aka JULM Studios have been working collaboratively since 2012 and are based in Brooklyn, New York. Through an interdisciplinary, research-intensive practice, they explore facts and fictions of pedagogy. With a shared background in traditional and digital printmaking, they employ a kind of pseudo-bibliology through the utilization of books, printing, and publishing. Photographs, video, and sculptural objects serve as facsimiles for research, experience, and exploration. Their projects investigate the evolving meaning of printed matter and the “sacred spaces” print occupies in the context of analog and digital technologies. Read More
