Jason Reed


Jason Reed is a Texas-based artist and educator. With a background in geography, his work deals with the confluence of land, politics, and visual histories. He is a Professor of Photography and the Jones Professor of Southwestern Studies at Texas State University and holds a BA in Geography from the University of Texas and an MFA in Photography from Illinois State University.

In addition to his individual practice, much of his work involves collaboration through the art and education project Borderland Collective, which Reed co-founded in 2007 with high school history teacher Ryan Sprott. Most recently he started a printed matter project that examines histories and dilemmas of the American West called the Victory in the Wilderness Museum. The first publication is a multi-volume examination of the visual culture of the U.S. Border Patrol called, The Place Where Flags Wave.

Reed has created gallery and public space exhibitions at venues such as Artpace in San Antonio, Krannert Museum at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, storefront windows in Miles, Texas, Galerie Reinthaler in Vienna, Austria, Dallas Contemporary, La Asamblea Legislativa in Mexico City, and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
