Julia Draganović in front of Villa Massimo (2020)

Julia Draganović (born 1963 in Hamburg, Germany) is a German curator and cultural manager. German-Italian cultural relations have been a recurring theme in her work.[1] In July 2019 she became director of the German Academy in Rome Villa Massimo (Deutsche Akademie Rom Villa Massimo).

University education

Draganović studied art history, German studies, philosophy and Romance studies (Italian studies) at the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster in Germany. In 1995 she received her doctorate there, writing her dissertation on Ernst Jünger, titled Figürliche Schrift: Zur darstellerischen Umsetzung von Weltanschauung in Jüngers erzählerischem Werk (Figural Writing: on the Representational Realisation of World View in Ernst Jünger’s Narrative Work).[citation needed]

Curator and cultural manager

In 1999 Draganović founded „Kulturbüro LaRete" in Weimar as an association of freelance cultural managers.[2] Each year from 1999 to 2003 she curated a double exhibition in nearby Schloss Ettersburg.[3] In Weimar she was president and board member of the German-Italian Society Thuringia (DIGIT e.V.).[4] As head of division for European affairs at the Thuringian Ministry of Justice and European Affairs, she was responsible for the presentation of Weimar as the European Capital of Culture 1999 in Brussels. For the Bauhaus-University Weimar she conceptualised and organised the cultural events of the European Summer Academy.[1]

From 1999 to 2003 she was also head of the international artists in residence program at ACC Galerie Weimar.[1] From 2005 to 2006 Draganović was artistic director of the Chelsea Art Museum in New York City.[3] From 2009 to 2014 she curated the Art Miami.[5]

In 2004 Draganović and curator Claudia Löffelholz founded the curators-collective in Modena, which is meant as a cultural network and follow-up project of the joint cultural office in Weimar, „LaRete Art Projects".[6][7] From 2009 to 2013 Draganović developed and curated the International Award for Participatory Art in Bologna.[1] From 2007 to 2009 she was artistic director of PAN Palazzo delle Arti di Napoli in Italy.[8] In the years 2010 through to 2012 Draganović acted as curator of the „Art First“-projects in the public urban space for the art fair Arte Fiera in Bologna.[5]

From 2009 to 2015 she was a member of the scientific committee of Mudam (Musée d’Art Moderne du Grand-Duc Jean) in Luxembourg. Since 2009 Draganović is a board member of the New York based non-profit organisation „No Longer Empty", and since 2014 she is also president of the IKT International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art,[1] which was founded in 1973 with the participation of Harald Szeemann.[9]

From 2013 to 2019 Draganović acted as director of the contemporary art center Kunsthalle Osnabrück (art hall Osnabrück),[10] putting her focus on performances.[11] She ended the commitment to become director of Villa Massimo.[1] Draganović aims to establish Villa Massimo as a role model for open temporary communities in which nationality is irrelevant. Artists, who do not own a German passport but live in Germany and have gained recognition in their field of art, can apply for a residency in Villa Massimo, called Rome Prize.[12][13]
