Jason Reed is a Texas-based artist and educator. With a background in geography, his work deals with the confluence of land, politics, natural resources, and visual histories through varying modes of photographic representation and collaborative practice.
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.
He is the co-editor of Otherwise, It Would Be Just Another River with Molly Sherman (2023, Spector Books) and has created gallery and public space exhibitions at venues such as Artpace in San Antonio, Krannert Museum at the University of Illinois, storefront windows in Miles, Texas, Galerie Reinthaler in Vienna, Austria, The Washington State History Museum, La Asamblea Legislativa in Mexico City, and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
Reed is a Professor of Photography at Texas State University and holds a BA in Geography from the University of Texas and an MFA in Photography from Illinois State University.
