#52 with Julie Harrison

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for Artists.

This week, we’re joined by Julie Harrison, a New York-based artist whose decades-long career has spanned drawing, photography, video, painting, and performance.

In this episode we discuss Julie’s transition from grayscale to color and back again, her interest in scientific imagery, archiving and selecting reference materials, drawing techniques, early artistic influences and her career path. We also discuss her transition to painting in the 1980s, graduate school, the importance of mentorship and the intersection of challenge, doubt and curiousity at play behind her practice.

Julie’s work has been exhibited at MoMA, the Museum of Arts & Design and the Neuberger Museum, with reviews in The New York Times, Hyperallergic, and The Village Voice. Harrison is a recipient of NEA and NYFA grants, she has published with Granary Books and held residencies at the Nordic Arts Center and Cold Spring Harbor Lab. Harrison also founded the Art & Technology B.A. program at Stevens Institute of Technology, where she taught for 18 years.
