Leslie Mutchler
Chairperson of Foundation
Biography
Mutchler’s most recent projects are in collaboration with Jason Urban. JULM Studios have been working collaboratively since 2012. As a collaborative duo, they exercise a coequal approach to art and life that focuses on research and problem-solving. With a relationship of physical to metaphysical in mind, their practice is increasingly about the natural world and the way digital technologies influence and distort our relationship to nature.
Before arriving at Pratt in 2018, Mutchler was the Associate Chair for the Department of Art and Art History and Director of the AAH Core Program (Foundation program) at the University of Texas at Austin. Mutchler is a 2014 recipient of The UT System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award.
