| | OTHER HOLDINGS: | Wilson, Clint | | ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | Clint Wilson’s multi-media practice incorporates research with the creation of re-constructed objects, filmic and mechanical events, and photographic documents. He constructs narratives around themes of “wildness” and the atmosphere of wonder that often envelopes it.
Wilson’s site-specific installations explore the often-complex interdependent relationship between how we see the world and how we use it. His installations attempt to heighten our awareness of the ideological underpinnings of those things which we have come to accept as natural, neutral, transparent, and unmediated.
Wilson is the founder of Integrated Wilderness Systems, an entity that develops and disseminates critical thinking about neo-ecologies, post natural wilderness, and natural resource management.
Wilson received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alberta, and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria in 1988, with a focus on photographic assemblage and sonic and interactive sculpture. Wilson exhibits widely and regularly throughout Canada and the United States, and his work is in the collection of the University of Alberta, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. He lives in Edmonton, and in addition to his art practice, he has worked as the Senior Preparator at the Art Gallery of Alberta for close to three decades.
