Artist
Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Anne Wilson creates sculpture, drawings, internet projects, installations and stop motion animations that explore themes of time, loss, private and social rituals. In her own words, “My source materials —hair, linen, lace, pins, wire, and thread—are the props of both domestic culture and larger social systems. I join together the points where these systems overlap, and where issues of sexuality and decorum, vitality and death construct meaningful relationships, and find release.”

Wilson has presented numerous solo exhibitions including those at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (2004), MassArt, Boston (2002) and the MCA, Chicago (2000), as well as a recent one person exhibition at Rhona Hoffman Gallery (January 2008). Her work has also been included in group exhibitions such as the 2002 Whitney Biennial; Alternative Paradise at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan (2005-6); and the current exhibition Out of the Ordinary at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Wilson is a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
