Julia Krause-Harder

Julia Krause-Harder’s work is driven by a deep fascination for palaeontology and geography. It is the artist’s aim to revive all 800 known species of dinosaurs. For her very complex three-dimensional artefacts she uses everyday findings such as plastics, metals and wood, but also toys and cassettes, which she assembles into anatomically precise, life-size sculptures. After professional training as a tailor the use of textile fabrics continues to play a decisive role within her artistic pratice. Julia Krause-Harder spent almost three years working on her textile work “La Création du Monde”, which measures more than 250 square meters. Born in 1973 in Kronberg im Taunus, she lives and works in Frankfurt am Main. Since 2017, Julia Krause-Harder has also been a lecturer at the Goldstein Akademy.

In 2012 she was a fellow of the La Fruaga The Forge Artist in Residency Program, Cordoba, Spain
