Where for artists working in more traditional media might simply ship the work off to a curator to install, for artists working with sound, light and moving parts, installation is not an afterthought, but part of the work. That&#8217;s why on Black Friday, when many of her colleagues were jostling their neighbors in big box stores, Wendy Wischer was on a plane to Miami.<\/p>\n<p>She was catching up to the materials she had shipped the previous week, part of an install at the Haitian Cultural Center during Art Basel-Miami Beach. It&#8217;s the second work she has installed in the city over the past month, a period in which she also installed &#8220;Trapped Within&#8221; at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts as part of the New Narratives exhibit. And in her studios (there are multiple) she&#8217;s working on new sculptures, experimenting with projections and casting fiberglass trees. It&#8217;s easy to see why the University of Utah professor is the recipient this year of a Utah Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowship. In this month&#8217;s Artist Profile, Wischer talks with us about her work, her studio and the importance of light.<\/p>\n<p>To see more of the artist&#8217;s work, visit<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendywischer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> www.wendywischer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For intermedia artists, installing a show is never a simple task.
