Wilmer Wilson IV (b. 1989, Richmond, VA) makes speculative combinations of archival material and everyday objects which probe the cracks of humanistic embodiment. The resulting compositions are multidisciplinary, often incorporating photography, sculpture, performance, and writing. Wilson’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including at the Hammer Museum, the New Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, In Flanders Fields Museum, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery; the Barnes Foundation, and others. He was awarded a Pew Fellowship in 2017.
