Who is Julie Robinson?

Julie Robinson is Senior Curator of Prints, Drawings & Photographs at the Art Gallery of South Australia, where she has worked since 1988, and is also on the teaching staff at the University of Adelaide, where she offers supervision in Art History. Her recent curatorial projects include Candid Camera: Australian Photography 1950s–1970s and A Century In Focus: South Australian Photography 1840s-1940s. Writing about the latter while national arts critic of The Australian, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Sebastian Smee said: "If you are at all interested in Australian photography, whether or not you are from SA, you will want to see this show, or at least get hold of the catalogue."

Robinson curated the 2004 Adelaide Biennial Of Australian Art: Contemporary Photomedia. The arts critic for the South Pacific edition of Time, described it as a “powerful survey which goes to show that photography isn't dead”. He noted that when Robinson curated her first photographic survey in 1990, “it was a more straightforward affairpictures simply stared back at audiences” and went on to add, speaking of the Biennial, that “the 20 artists she has brought together in Adelaide explode the idea of what photography can be.” Featured artists included Bill Henson, Tracey Moffatt, Mike Parr and Patricia Piccinni.
