Live and act

After childhood in Montreal and school in several cities in Germany, she graduated from high school in 1987 and began commercial training at the American advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather , where she was then taken on as a copywriter. From 1989 she studied art history, political science and German at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . a. with Hans Belting , and specialized in sculpture, especially in public spaces. Research on Renaissance sculpture led her to spend a year abroad at the University of Bologna in 1992 to study at the Roberto Longhi Chair . She completed her Magister Artium in Frankfurt am Main in 1995 with a thesis on "Hercules Sculptures in Renaissance Sculpture" with Klaus Herding .

In the same year she started as an art representative at Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen , developed a group-wide concept for an international collection of young contemporary art for the bank and built it up at locations around the world by 2003. She realized in situ works and art-in-building projects with artists such as Bill Viola and Franz Ackermann (painter) .

Juliane von Herz has been working as a freelancer since 2003, developing cultural projects, curating exhibitions, advising institutions, private and public collections, art-in-building projects and artists. In 2018 she became a co-founder and partner of the Seehof Society for Art in Urban Areas. There she works at the interface between urban development, architecture and art in public space .

For three years, Juliane von Herz initiated and realized the temporary sculpture project "Rossmarkt hoch 3" on the Roßmarkt in the city center of Frankfurt am Main in order to anchor the historical and central town square more firmly in the consciousness of civil society. Changing artists (2010: Tomás Saraceno ; 2011: Tamara Grcic ; 2012: gelitin ) were selected by a cross-city high school graduate jury of the respective year, who had been trained for this task in their spare time. The participatory project was funded by the city and foundations.

In addition to her work as a curator, Juliane von Herz teaches, most recently since 2017 at the Art History Faculty of the University of Mainz, in particular on art in urban space, but also on the culture of remembrance.
