About
DSquared Fine Art & Culture Project Studio engages contemporary artists through representation, exhibitions, and interdisciplinary cultural projects that are research-driven, context-responsive, and strategically positioned within contemporary culture.
Untethered to a permanent venue, DSquared works across formats that extend beyond the conventions of traditional gallery spaces, organizing exhibitions and projects across a range of contexts while cultivating relationships among artists, collectors, institutions, and the public. Its approach combines curatorial rigor with agility, creating opportunities for artists and their work to circulate with clarity and purpose.
In parallel with its exhibition program, DSquared develops select cultural projects spanning visual art, film, new media, and other forms of cultural production. Through artist representation, exhibition-making, and cultural collaboration, DSquared supports artists while situating their work within broader cultural and critical discourse.

Juelle Daley is a curator, cultural producer, and cultural strategist with more than 13 years of experience developing exhibitions and public programs centered on Black visual culture, identity, memory, and diasporic artistic expression.
As Founder and Director of DSquared Fine Art & Culture Project Studio, she works across artist representation, exhibition-making, and cultural production to create context-responsive opportunities for contemporary artists and their work.
Her practice brings together curatorial research, cross-institutional collaboration, and cultural storytelling, shaped in part by French training and seven years spent living in France, as well as by earlier academic training in East Asian Area Studies with an emphasis on Chinese language and culture.
Her affiliations and appointments include Membership Chairperson of Art Administrators in Higher Education (AAHE), Board service with High Concept Labs' Arts Advisory Council, a HATCH Curatorial Residency at Chicago Artist Coalition, and a residency in Black Contemporary Arts Writing at Black Embodiment Studio, along with selection and advisory roles with Arts & Public Life at the University of Chicago, the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Chicago International Film Festival.
