Julie Reiss

Welcome to my author page

I am a Ph.D. art historian with experience ranging from teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level, designing academic programs, museum education, writing and curating. A pioneering scholar in installation art, I’m the author of From Margin to Center: The Spaces of Installation Art (1999). For the past decade my focus in teaching and writing has been on the role art can play in shifting paradigms and raising awareness of the climate crisis. I’m the editor of Art, Theory and Practice in the Anthropocene (2019). I teach courses on Art & Sustainability at Columbia University where I’ve also been a Visiting Critic to the MFA program. I recently worked with the Harpo Foundation to create Ed Levine: The Embodied Experience of Art, a book about its founder, artist and critic Ed Levine. For a number of years I directed a Masters program in Modern and Contemporary Art at Christie’s Education, New York.
