Experience an artist-in-residence this summer
Photos and story by James Hill
Vicki Lynn Wilson has been given the entire Northview Gallery at the Sylvania Campus to be her own art studio for the summer.
For the next three months Wilson will work in the space to build an installation, which will open as the first show of the fall term at the end of September. The gallery is located in Room 214 of the Communications Technology Building. She intends for the work to be accompanied by a performance piece. Read about her progress.
“This is the kind of opportunity installation artists dream of,” she said. “So often, work must be made in a small studio for a larger space and it only comes together as it is being installed. Also, because shows are usually only a week or two apart, there is precious little time to install the work.”
Wilson will be working on a regular schedule throughout the summer and students and staff of the college, as well as campus visitors, are welcome to come in to the studio. People can ask question and discuss with her what she is doing.
Studio hours are: 1-6 p.m., Monday-Friday (except July 19 and 27).
To see any of her work, visit Vicki Lynn Wilson’s website. Or contact the artist at: Vicki.lynn.wilson@hotmail.com
