Julia Barbee’s autobiographical works span performance, fashion, film, food, social media, photography, retail space, and publication. Born in 1978, in Portland, Oregon, where she resides, she has shown in Los Angeles, New York, and abroad. Frocky Jack Morgan was her deconstructed clothing line for 10 years in the early oughts, which is now a conceptual ephemeral line under her name. Spaceness was a five-year running art event she co-founded and curated with her friend and husband in 2015. She has had an antique and vintage picking business for over 20 years that has straddled her visual arts practice, her educational pursuits, and her child rearing.
