Nicole Wilson

Nicole Wilson (Daly City, CA)  is a research-based conceptual artist who makes long, tedious, and process-driven projects that excavate the everyday through a feminist lens. Working interdisciplinarily and in relation to institutional structures, Wilson is interested in a material investigation that documents and articulates absences within our lives. She has sent the President of the United States a letter every day for the past 15 years and registered the world’s oldest natural mummy’s tattoos on the Blockchain. To accompany solo exhibitions of her project, Ötzi, she published an artist book with Small Editions Press (Brooklyn, NY) in 2021.

Previously an Artist-in-Residency at the Bemis Center (Omaha, NE), Wilson’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse, BY), Tisch Special Collections (Medford, MA), Special Collections and Archives at VCU (Richmond, VA), and the Thomas J Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY).
