We caught up with Albert Abdul-Barr Wang, a Utah-based artist and alumnus of SVA’s online program, the Artist Residency Project. Wang is a current and active participant in the Residency Alumni Network, where he connects with fellow alumni on a regular basis.

Wang is a conceptual artist, and though his work tends to gravitate toward photography, it takes forms as varied as tapestry, installation and sculpture. “My practice is pretty flexible as I do a lot of research for whatever series I am working on,” he says. “The methodology for creating the artworks falls like dominoes from my research.” Right now, he is completing a series of constructed landscape photos of dilapidated mining properties presented alongside the companies’ stock prices.
