Visiting Artist Lecture Series, the Department of Visual Art presents Letha Wilson, September 28, 2022 at the List Art Building, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Letha Wilson is known for combining photography with industrial materials like concrete and steel. She explores the magnetic pull of the American West, alluding to landscape’s intrinsic role in our own myths of reinvention, endless possibility, and inevitable promise. Raised in Colorado, Wilson currently lives and works in Craryville and Brooklyn, New York. She earned her BFA from Syracuse University, and a MFA from Hunter College. Residencies include Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, MacDowell, Yaddo, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, and the Headlands Center for the Arts, among others. Wilson has exhibited at MASS MoCA, deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, International Center for Photography, Columbus Museum of Art and the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art. Letha’s work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, the New York Times, and The New Yorker, among others. In Fall 2022 she will be the Windgate Artist-in-Residence at SUNY Purchase.
