ABOUT THE JUROR: Julianne Swartz is a New York-based artist. She is known for immersive installations, architectural interventions and sculptures that bring sound, optics and kinetics into play to create alternative, multisensory experiences. She uses utilitarian materials (e.g., tubes, mirrors, lenses, magnets) to warp, reshape or deepen perception, generating unexpected, ephemeral and participatory experiences out of common situations. Critics suggest that her work inhabits liminal areas, both literally (transitory architectural spaces and functional systems) and conceptually, bridging the perceptible and evanescent, public and private, visual and embodied, affective and technical. Art in America critic Peter R. Kalb wrote, "Swartz appeals to the senses and emotions with a quiet lyricism, using unassuming materials and marshaling grand forces like wind and magnetism" to offer "a thoughtful excursion into sound, sight and psyche."
Swartz has exhibited at institutions including the Whitney Museum, MoMA PS1, Tate Liverpool, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) and Israel Museum, Jerusalem. She has been recognized by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Joan Mitchell Foundation, American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Anonymous Was a Woman.
Swartz lives in Stone Ridge, New York with her husband, Ken Landauer.
