Julie Born Schwartz is an artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Currently doing an artistic practice based PhD at Zurich University of the Arts Switzerland and
University of Art and Design, Linz, Austria. Her PhD project is called: “APPROACHING DEATH: transforming our conversations around fear of dying”.
Born Schwartz works across multiple artistic mediums, and her projects unfolds through years of field recordings, archival investigations, and sustained observations.
She develops deep connections to the people she meets and the stories they tell, utilising these recollections and personal histories as the foundations upon which each work is constructed. The field recordings, conversations and observations take shapes in multidisciplinary installations employing moving image, sound, photography, textiles, sculptures and participatory gatherings.
In two instances her previous works have gained particular historical significance, becoming the first video work to be aquired for a major permanent museum collection - firstly of the Royal Academy of Arts Museum, London (UK), followed by the Musuem of Religious Art, Lemvig (DK). Other works are held in the collections at Fondazine Giorgio Cini, Venice (ITA) and Goldsmiths, London (UK)
