Biography

Dr Julie Reed Henderson is an Australian conceptual and multi-media artist who works with researchers in fields including science, engineering, and other arts disciplines. Her work often includes collaborative projects. She is currently a researcher and program coordinator of the Bachelor of Visual Art at Federation University Australia’s Art Academy in Gippsland and Ballarat.
In 2004-2005 Reed Henderson was the recipient of an Anne & Gordon Samstag Scholarship undertaking a year-long residency in the UK for a Master of Fine Art in Glasgow School of Art. She has exhibited nationally and in Sweden, Austria, China, Philippines, Scotland, and England.
Reed Henderson received her doctorate in practice-led research at the University of South Australia focusing on the artist as eccentric archivist. She was studio head of sculpture and installation and a lecturer in honours and postgraduate studies in 2012-2015. In 2015-2018, she wrote and coordinated the Bachelor of Creative Arts Visual Arts Honours for Flinders University prior to her current appointment in Victoria.

Areas of  expertise

Reed Henderson’s expanded art practice is firstly concerned with the influence of time, and attention on social relationships with others. Her performance, moving image and installation works are informed by initial training and experience as a contemporary and classical dancer. Often featuring sound, music, and language components, the work considers the influences of everyday perceptions and sensory and social encounters.

Reed Henderson’s related research focuses on art as work, (and an “ecology of practice”) and involves collaborations with skilled makers from various other fields. Situated both within and beyond art and institutional contexts it activates relationships mobilised under the conditions of creative co-production and artistic purpose. Surprising conjunctions are galvinised in bringing together the skills of everyday workers and artistic context such that the pragmatic and incidental can become agents of pivotal renewal and consequence.
