JULIA HEYWARD
Julia Heyward is a multimedia artist whose work incorporates video, film, monologues and a cappella singing. She will show her interactive version of "Miracles in Reverse" as well as two works-in-progress. All pieces deal with trauma and memory – some from a local perspective, others from a global perspective. Music performed and collaboratively created with artist/musican Ken Butler. Heyward began her career as a solo performance artist touring America and Europe throughout the 1970s. During the 1980s Heyward’s work expanded into ensemble performances as she formed and toured three multimedia music groups. In January 1981 (a year before MTV’s debut), she premiered 360, a long-form music video. Heyward’s awards include a Bessie Award for outstanding performance of the year (1984,) a Guggenheim and several grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her video works have been featured at various festivals, including the Tokyo International Video Biennial, the Mill Valley Film Festival and the Film-X Film Festival, Los Angeles.
