Biography: 
1970 Born in Addis Ababa (ET)
Julie Mehretu's biography reads a bit like an atlas: born in Ethiopia, raised in Michigan, educated in Senegal and Rhode Island, she now lives in New York. It is no surprise, then, that her work incorporates the dynamic visual vocabulary of maps, urban-planning grids, and architectural forms as it alternates between historical narratives and fictional landscapes.
