Professor of Spatial Practice Julieanna Preston has devoted the past thirty or more years towards artistic research especially towards the value of embodied knowing and more recently as an agent of intuition, a latent pre-knowing in sensorial-centric bodies of all kinds. Her performance writing practice and live art works (including sound and vocalisation) are devoted to durational experience, intimacy as entanglement, and material constitution including entropy. Recent publications include “Being Under, WITH this room” (Interiors, 2021), “Sounding Out Vacancy: Performing (anything but) Empty Space” (JAR 2019) and “Performing Bitumen, Materialising Desiré” (with J. Archer-Martin 2018). Performances include Tryst (with Johanna Lock 2021), RPM hums, choral, viral (2020),murus (2020) and ‘restless manoeuvers” (PAWA, Adam Art Gallery, 2023). Recent and forthcoming publications include “motor-mouthing” (Routledge, 2023), “DD: Holding Up the Girls” (Journal of Architecture, 2023), “Pleural Space” in Embodied Awareness and Space (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024), “Flotsam: Retelling the story The Huts that Jules Builds” in Instituting Worlds: Architecture and Islands (Routledge, 2024) and Performing Punctuation (edited and designed with Anna Brown, Intellect, 2025). Julieanna lives and teaches in Aotearoa/ New Zealand.
