Overview

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 14 years and registered the world’s oldest natural mummy’s tattoos on the Blockchain.


Previously an Artist-in-Residency at the Bemis Center (Omaha, NE), Wilson’s work can be found in the permanent collections of Tisch Special Collections (Medford, MA), McCormick Library of Special Collections (Evanston, IL), and the University Library Rare Books Collection (Fayetteville, AR). For recent solo exhibitions of her project, Ötzi, she published an artist book with Small Editions Press (Brooklyn, NY) in 2021. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the University of Arkansas.
