March 4-Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist Lecture: Josh Winkler
Josh Winkler focuses on environmental issues connected to history and place. By combining personal experience with historic investigation, he builds landscape narratives that ask viewers to engage the social, political, and environmental contexts of their surroundings. Winkler’s work is in public collections including Yale University, Hennepin County Public Library, The Yukon Archives in Whitehorse YT, and The Quebec National Archives in Montreal. In 2018-2019, Winkler exhibited in British Columbia, Spain, Nova Scotia, and throughout the United States. He completed a two-week artist residency on the Chilkoot Trail in Alaska, and a six-week residency at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Winkler is currently completing his second Artist Initiative Grant from the MN State Arts Board, and was recently selected for an artist residency at the University of Minnesota’s Bell Museum of Natural History.
