About Wilson Minshall
Wilson Minshall is an intermedia artist from Little Rock, Arkansas and received their MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Missouri in Columbia in 2021. Their work begins with drawing and uses elements of collage to span varying media such as painting, design, printmaking, weaving, video and sound installation. Accumulating information from past historical archives as well as their own recorded memories, they materially alter research samples and pull forth localized networks of traces from their chosen source material. In doing so, they take the stance that excavating or refiguring overlooked pieces of lived experience across time, space and media allows for non-binary navigations of history and identity without privileging surface-level stereotypes. They recently co-organized, designed and curated the experimental exhibition Cage in Como: A Weekend with the John Cage Trust and Friends in 2021 at Hitt Records and the Sinquefield Music Center (Columbia, MO). They also co-curated the NIXED_INDEX juried art exhibition at the University of Missouri’s George Caleb Bingham Gallery in 2019 (Columbia, MO), and have performed sound pieces at the Marshall Arts Gallery (Memphis, TN) in 2018 and Cafe Berlin (Columbia, MO) in 2019. They have exhibited their work at the Marshall Arts Gallery in Memphis, TN (2017), the Hanger Gallery in Kansas City, MO (2019), the Serial Box Gallery in Columbia, MO (2018) and St. Charles Community College in St. Charles, MO (2020).
