Faculty Friday, honoring Randall Wilson @rgwilsona Faculty Friday, honoring Randall Wilson @rgwilsonart ✨ Celebrating the upcoming retirement of artist and educator Randall Wilson, whose work blends historic Southwestern wood-carving traditions with embossing techniques, creating sculptures shaped by both craftsmanship and time. From summers learning carving in Watrous, NM, years teaching at SCI-Arc, Art Center, Otis, and 12 years at UNM, Randall has guided artists with insight, passion, and drive. Thank you, Randall, for your dedication to your students, your explorations in material and tradition, and your incredible contributions to the Department of Art. You will truly be missed. Here’s to the next chapter!! 📸: Image 2. Student working in Randall's class 3. “New Mexico Style" 12”x49”, 2016 Exhibited - Gerald Peters Santa Fe 4-5. Student Work
Gale Memorial Lecture Series: Out-of-Bounds Lineup Gale Memorial Lecture Series: Out-of-Bounds Lineup: SAVE THE DATES The Gale Memorial Lecture Series was established in memory of Dr. David Gale and his wife Sylvia, whose generosity made this series possible. This year’s program, "Out-of-Bounds," explores the concept of expanded practice in contemporary art through the work of four visiting creatives whose approaches resist traditional categorization and exist at the intersections of disciplines, materials, and methodologies. This collaboration between three UNM Art Department faculty members and one graduate student, each with a vested interest in expanded practice: Assistant Professor Stephanie J. Woods @stephaniejwoods, Assistant Professor Marcella Ernest (Ojibwe) @marcellakwe, Associate Professor Welly Fletcher @wellyfletcher, and P&D graduate student Dylan Lilla @dylanlilla. Together, they created a dynamic program of public lectures, workshops, and discussions that invite the UNM community to engage critically with artistic practices that challenge conventional artistic boundaries.
